Palaash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana
Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana has finally announced her engagement to music composer Palash Muchhal. The cricketer shared a video featuring her team members on her official Instagram handle to share the happy news. The video, featuring Jemimah Rodrigues, Shreyanka Patil, Radha Yadav, and Arundhati Reddy, comes days ahead of the November 23 wedding.
Smriti, along with her fellow team members, shot a fun choreographed reel to the song Samjho Ho Hi Gaya from the film Lage Raho Munna Bhai. Towards the end of the video, Smriti flashed her engagement ring to the camera as her teammates cheered for her. The video was shot inside a gym.
Take a look:
Ahead of their special day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended his best wishes and blessings to the couple and also to their respective families.
An official letter from the PM's office read, "It is delightful to learn about the wedding of Sou. Smriti and Chi. Palaash to be held on 23rd November, 2025. Heartiest congratulations and greetings to the Mandhana and Muchhal families on the auspicious and joyous occasion."
It further read, "Walking hand in hand through every season of life, may the couple find strength in each other's presence, and may their hearts, minds and souls be in harmony. May their dreams intertwine and grow together, guiding them toward a future filled with joy and deep understanding." The letter further read, "May Smriti and Palaash build a shared life rooted in trust, standing by each other always, embracing responsibilities with love and growing together through each other's strengths and imperfections."
PM Modi, through his letter, further wished them all the luck. "As they start a new, beautiful life together, the grace of Smriti's cover drive meets the lilting musical symphony of Palaash in a wonderful partnership. It is fitting that a Celebration Cricket Match has been scheduled between Team Groom and Team Bride! May both these teams win in the game of life. I send my blessings to the couple for the momentous occasion. (Narendra Modi)," it read.
The couple have been dating for quite some time and have been vocal about their love for each other.
