Star Kabaddi player Deepak Niwas Hooda got engaged to boxer Saweety Boora on June 28. Boxing fans might Boora for winning a sliver in the 2014 World Boxing Championship and how she was about to quit the sport last year. She missed out on the qualification for the Tokyo Olympics as she wasn't given the chance to play the qualification games. She was upset and wanted to return to Kabaddi which, her now, fiancee plays.

However, after some time, she decided to stay in Boxing and aim for the 2024 Olympic qualification. On the other hand, Hooda is an accomplished Kabaddi player and plays for Jaipur Panthers in the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL). He is an all-rounder who can defend as well. As a raider, he has 117 points to his name with an average of 6.88 raid points per game. As a defender, he has only three points to his name.

Meanwhile, the engagement video was uploaded by Boora on Instagram. It was captioned “My whole heart for my whole life.” The couple has got a lot of congratulatory messages from the fans and Kabaddi players. The video has earned 61000 likes and counting.

Kabaddi players Parvesh Bhainswal and Naveen Kumar attended the ceremony and shared their pictures from the engagement party. Deepak played for Pink Panther early this year when the cash-rich league returned early this year. The team missed out on the playoffs qualification as they had 63 points in their kitty with 10 wins and as many losses in 22 games. They tied two games as well. The sixth team which qualified for the playoffs was Puneri Paltan with 66 points in 22 games.

Besides, it is expected that Niwas is going to be part of the Pink Brigade next year. However, this will depend on player retentions and auctions for the net season. The dates for players' retentions and auctions are yet to be announced.
