India, Feb. 6 -- The last few months have been a roller coaster ride for Smriti Mandhana. The Indian women's vice-captain tasted glory in November 2025 after the side won the 50-over World Cup for the first time. The next few months were slated to be the most special for the 29-year-old, as she was set to marry Palash Muchhal. The wedding festivities had also begun, but midway through, Mandhana's father fell ill, and the ceremony was postponed. The delay sparked speculation on social media, and several users began speculating about the future of Smriti and Palash. As the uncertainty grew, Smriti posted a statement on Instagram, confirming that the wedding had been called off and requesting that the public show respect for her privacy.
