Former national badminton coach Vimal Kumar Thursday lauded Saina Nehwal for not letting her relationship with fellow shuttler Parupalli Kashyap affect her game, amid reports that the two are tying the knot in December. "I knew about their (Saina and Kashyap) relationship. Saina shifted from Hyderabad to Bengaluru to train under Vimal Kumar in 2014 before her return to Hyderabad to once again train under Pullela Gopichand last year. Kumar said he is happy that Saina is getting married to Kashyap because he has known them for a long time. He advised Kashyap to switch to coaching after marriage but expect Saina to continue playing for a couple of years more.
