Video: Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana's haldi ceremony goes viral

It’s happening. Smriti Mandhana, the Indian women’s cricket team’s star player, and music composer Palash Muchhal are in the thick of wedding things. They had their haldi ceremony on Friday in preparation for their final ceremonies on Nov 23 (Sunday).

This is one happy bride. The star batter – who recently won the Women's ODI World Cup with Team India – spent the haldi ceremony being pampered but also dancing with friends Richa Ghosh, Shreyanka Patil, Renuka Singh, Shivali Shinde, Radha Yadav, and Jemimah Rodrigues. The social media clips can attest to the fun everyone’s having.

Among the people expect to attend the A-lister nuptials are Mandhana's teammate from the Ratnagiri Jets in the Women's Maharashtra Premier League, and Shreyanka, her teammate from Royal Challengers Bengaluru, reports NDTV.com.

The couple met and began dating in 2019. They’ve kept it low key so far, but as their wedding date got closer, they chose to be a bit playful on social media, sharing pictures and videos of joyful moments.

In a video on Instagram, Mandhana and her friends danced to Samjho Ho Hi Gaya from Lage Raho Munna Bhai, with Mandhana showing off her engagement ring at the end.
