Squash queen Dipika Pallikal, who once hated cricketers is set to marry Dinesh Karthik

New Delhi: Squash Queen Dipika Pallikal has completed a full circle….she hated cricketers, she dated a cricketer now all set to marry a cricketer. India's popular sports couple Dipika Pallikal and Dinesh Karthik have decided to


“We are different personalities and that way we compliment each other. She likes to talk about us in public sometimes and I like to take a step down and keep my private life very private.


“But at the base of it we are very simple people. I can also be really lazy sometimes when it comes to going out. On the contrary Dipika likes to eat out even when she is in Chennai. I am two steps back in that sense. I am more of a home who likes to watch movies for as long as I can and spend a lot of time with my friends,” quipped Karthik.


They both have had their share of ups and downs but what makes their bond close is the way they look at life, feels Pallikal.


The two became friends working under the same trainer, Basu Shankar, but something dramatic had to happen for them to get closer. Understanding each other becomes easier when both are professional sportspersons, though Dinesh and Dipika prefer talking about other things in life.
