Smriti Mandhana announces engagement to Palash Muchhal in choreographed Instagram reveal; wedding set for November 23

India’s World Cup-winning star Smriti Mandhana announced her engagement to music composer Palash Muchhal on Thursday through a choreographed Instagram reveal featuring her India teammates. While the viral video did not mention a wedding date, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made the big reveal when he extended his heartfelt wishes to the India batter.

Mandhana was joined by Jemimah Rodrigues, Shreyanka Patil, Radha Yadav, and Arundhati Reddy in the video, which quickly went viral on social media. The five India players performed a neatly choreographed routine to “Samjho Ho Hi Gaya” from the 2006 film Lage Raho Munna Bhai. In the final frame, Mandhana unveiled her wedding ring, finally putting an end to long-standing rumours.

While the rumours had been around for a while, Muchhal had hinted at the wedding last month during an event at the State Press Club in Indore. Although he offered no direct confirmation, he said in a statement that Mandhana would soon become the “daughter-in-law of Indore”.
