Dinesh Karthik love life has been tragic post his separation from first wife Nikita. However, he soon found love in Dipika Pallikal.

Dipika Pallikal herself hails from Tamil Nadu and is the daughter of former Indian women’s cricketer Susan Itticheria. Pallikal made her professional squash debut in 2006 and became the first Indian to break into the top 10 in the Professional Squash Association (PSA) Women's rankings.

The wicketkeeper had proposed Dipika after India's ICC Champions Trophy victory in 2013. The two ultimately tied the knot on August 18, 2015

The couple had two separate marriage ceremonies, one as per the Hindu tradition and the other one based on the Christian rituals.
