The wedding guest list will be a close-knit one, limited to immediate family and a few close companions, perfectly in line with the couple’s preference for privacy. The ceremony comes shortly after Mandhana’s starring role in India’s victorious Women’s World Cup campaign, adding emotional weight to the occasion.

Mandhana and Muchhal’s love story dates back to 2019, when they first connected through mutual friends in Mumbai’s artistic circles. Their bond grew steadily, even as both juggled demanding careers — Smriti at the forefront of Indian cricket and Palash well-established in the film and music industry. Determined to protect their relationship from public scrutiny, they kept it away from the spotlight for years while supporting each other through their professional highs.

It wasn’t until July 2024, on their five-year anniversary, that they finally made their relationship public with a simple, heartfelt social media post. From there, the couple began to embrace sharing glimpses of their life together, including a widely talked-about moment after India’s ODI World Cup triumph.

Their journey reached a touching milestone when Palash proposed at Navi Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium, moments after India’s title win. Leading a blindfolded Smriti onto the same pitch where she had made history, he knelt with a ring to ask for her hand. Palash even immortalised his commitment with a tattoo of her initials and jersey number, “SM18”, on his forearm.The couple is now ready to formalise their long-running relationship on November 23, 2025 — a date certain to be remembered as fondly as their many shared milestones.
