Viswanathan Anand, lovingly known as ‘Vishy’ hardly needs any introduction as the Indian chess grandmaster has many feathers to his cap. Five-time World Chess Champion and two-time World Rapid Chess Champion, Viswanathan Anand became the first grandmaster from India in 1988. There are many records and accolades to his name.
As they say, behind every successful man, there is a woman, and in Vishy’s case, it is his wife, Aruna Anand. When Viswanathan got married to Aruna, many thought that his career would come to an end. But marriage worked like a charm for him as Aruna not only became his support system but also looked after his profession.
