Smriti Mandhana Accepts Palash Muchhal’s Proposal in Viral Video, Takes Internet By Storm: WATCH

Excitement continues to build around India's cricket icon Smriti Mandhana and noted composer-filmmaker Palash Muchhal, who are widely expected to tie the knot on November 23.

The anticipation intensified

after Muchhal shared a video of his proposal, filmed at the DY Patil Stadium - a venue symbolic for Indian cricket fans and now a special memory for the couple.

What truly amplified the moment, however, was Prime Minister Narendra Modi's congratulatory message, which quickly gained attention online. His letter, marked by unusually personal warmth, stood out not only for its timing but also for the detail with which it acknowledged their upcoming chapter. Modi described their marriage as the union of "two accomplished journeys," emphasising that love, trust and companionship form the core of a lasting partnership.

He also wished them the "grace to support each other through shared responsibilities. " In a noteworthy touch, the Prime Minister referred to their wedding date - something the couple has yet to confirm publicly - giving his message an added layer of significance.

Mandhana herself revealed her engagement in a way that perfectly reflected her easygoing personality. Rather than delivering a formal announcement, she dropped a cheerful Instagram reel featuring Jemimah Rodrigues, Shreyanka Patil, and Radha Yadav vibing to the popular track Samjho Ho Hi Gaya from Lage Raho Munna Bhai. The playful clip ended with Mandhana casually displaying her engagement ring, a moment that instantly captivated fans and set social media abuzz.

Her personal happiness arrives during a golden phase of her cricketing journey. Mandhana was instrumental in India's historic triumph at the ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025, where her consistency and flair at the top of the order shaped the team's title run. She finished with 434 runs in nine innings - the highest tally by any Indian in a single World Cup - including a crucial century against New Zealand. Only one batter outscored her across the entire tournament.

As India celebrates both her on-field brilliance and her off-field joy, Mandhana steps into this new chapter with the same grace that has defined her career.
