How did Love blossom between Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal as they Tie the Knot Today?

Smriti Mandhana, the celebrated Indian cricket star and World Cup winner, is set to marry music composer and filmmaker Palash Muchhal on November 23, 2025, in her hometown of Sangli, Maharashtra.

After nurturing their relationship privately for years, they made it public in July 2024 to mark their five-year anniversary with a heartfelt social media post, followed by a romantic marriage proposal at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai - a venue charged with significance following India's recent Women's ODI World Cup victory led by Smriti herself.

Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal's love story began in 2019, when they first met at a private gathering in Mumbai. Palash had performed an unreleased song at the event, and the two connected through mutual

friends in Mumbai's creative circles.

Despite coming from very different professional worlds-Smriti as a cricket star and Palash as a music composer and filmmaker-their shared passion, ambition, and creativity drew them closer. Over time, they developed a close friendship that naturally blossomed into a romantic relationship.

For several years, Smriti and Palash kept their relationship private, away from the media spotlight. Their bond was built on mutual respect, emotional support, and understanding of each other's careers and aspirations. The couple only went public in July 2024 with a heartfelt Instagram post celebrating their five-year anniversary, which delighted fans who had been speculating about the romance.

Palash publicly proposed at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, a moment filled with emotion, where he blindfolded Smriti and led her onto the pitch to propose, making the occasion memorable and deeply personal. Palash's tattoo of Smriti's initials and jersey number 'SM18' further exemplified his quiet devotion.
