The wedding festivities of Indian women’s cricket team star Smriti Mandhana and music composer-filmmaker Palash Muchhal have taken a vibrant turn, as their mehendi ceremony unfolded in full colour and camaraderie. Set just a day ahead of their November 23 celebration, the event became a lively showcase of tradition, friendship and team spirit.
Mandhana, known for her dynamic batting and leadership on the field, swapped her cricket whites for a rich purple ensemble, an ornate traditional outfit that perfectly matched the festive energy. By her side, Muchhal looked dapper in a cream kurta paired with an intricately embroidered jacket, striking the right note of elegance and celebration. The pair’s coordinated look instantly caught social-media attention, with fans sharing and admiring the visuals of this milestone in their life together.
What made the occasion particularly special was the presence of Mandhana’s teammates from the national side. Dressed in colourful ethnic wear and flashing their mehandi-stained hands, they joined the bride-to-be in dance, laughter and celebration, adding the unmistakable vibe of a team reunion to the festivities. The sense of “team family” came through strongly after all, the bride is not just a star cricketer, but a teammate and friend to many of those present.
From the rhythmic beats of the dhol to spontaneous selfies and joyous embraces, the mehendi function played out like both a personal and public celebration. Photos emerging from the event depicted little moments a crushed flower bouquet; a teammate adjusting Mandhana’s lehenga; Muchhal clapping and cheering as the bride’s squad danced; wide smiles visible across the board. These candid captures gave fans a glimpse of how this couple chose to blend intimacy with celebrity-glamour.
Beyond the aesthetics, the ceremony underscores the merging of two worlds: one, Mandhana’s high-profile sporting journey culminating in major victories, and the other, Muchhal’s creative realm that has long stood behind the scenes. Together they’re stepping into a new chapter, and this mehendi is more than a pre-wedding ritual it’s a statement: this union honours cultural roots, personal achievement and the warm ties of friendship. As Monday dawns and the wedding day looms, one thing is clear: the energy that lit up the mehendi will carry through the next day’s rituals, wrapping the event in a blend of tradition, team-spirit and celebration. For fans and well-wishers across the country, this isn’t just a personal milestone it’s a moment of communal joy, given Mandhana’s role in lifting women’s cricket into the spotlight and Muchhal’s growing presence in the music world. And as the hashtags light up, the visuals continue to trend, signalling that this wedding isn’t just for the couple it’s for the fans too.
