In a beautiful moment that has taken the internet by storm, music composer and filmmaker Palash Muchhal shared the heartwarming video of his proposal to star Indian cricketer and recent World Cup winner, Smriti Mandhana. The romantic gesture took place on the pitch of the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, a venue that holds immense sentimental value for Mandhana as the site of India's historic ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 triumph.
Palash posted the viral video on his social media handle on Friday, November 21, 2025, with the simple yet joyous caption: “She said yes ❤️.”
A Proposal on Hallowed Ground
The video, which has quickly amassed millions of views, showcases the elaborate surprise planned by Muchhal. It begins with him leading a blindfolded Smriti onto the cricket pitch. As the blindfold is removed, Smriti finds herself at the center of the stadium, where Palash kneels down on one knee with a bouquet of roses and a ring, set to the tune of a romantic ballad. A delighted and emotional Smriti is seen accepting the proposal before leaping into his arms. The celebration was immediately joined by close friends and family, including Palash’s sister, popular singer Palak Muchhal.
Engagement Confirmed in True Cricketer Style
While Palash's video revealed the proposal itself, Smriti Mandhana had already confirmed the engagement days earlier in a style fitting a World Cup champion. She shared a playful Instagram Reel featuring her India teammates, including Jemimah Rodrigues and Radha Yadav, performing a choreographed routine to a Bollywood song. The fun clip concluded with the vice-captain playfully flaunting her engagement ring, putting an end to weeks of speculation.
Wedding Bells Ringing This Sunday
The heartwarming proposal video comes just two days before the couple is set to officially tie the knot. Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal are scheduled to be married on Sunday, November 23, 2025.
The news has been met with widespread well-wishes, including a heartfelt congratulatory letter from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Prime Minister's personal note praised the union of the two accomplished individuals, humorously describing their partnership as Smriti’s "cover drive" meeting Palash’s "musical symphony."
This special personal milestone arrives during a golden period in Smriti Mandhana’s career, solidifying her position as one of India's most beloved and successful athletes both on and off the field.
