In a direct clarification aimed at ending widespread speculation, the family of Indian cricket vice-captain Smriti Mandhana has officially denied rumours of her impending wedding. The viral news, which claimed the star batter would tie the knot with Palash Mucchal on December 7, 2025, has been labelled as false.
Brother Steps Forward to Set the Record Straight
Putting an immediate end to the fake news circulating on social media and various platforms, Smriti Mandhana's brother, Shravan Mandhana, has come forward as the family spokesperson. He has categorically denied the specific wedding date of December 7th that was being widely reported. This statement serves as the first official family response to the flurry of unsubstantiated claims regarding the cricketer's personal life.
The Source of the Rumours and Public Reaction
The rumours appear to have gained traction from unverified sources online, leading to a frenzy among fans and media outlets. As one of the most celebrated figures in women's cricket, any news about Smriti Mandhana's personal life naturally attracts significant public interest. However, the swift denial from her brother highlights the spread of misinformation and the need for confirmation from authentic channels. The clarification was reported by the DH Web Desk on December 3, 2025, at 06:38 IST.
Focus Remains on Cricket
This episode underscores the intense scrutiny faced by celebrity athletes off the field. With the denial now public, the focus for fans and well-wishers can rightly return to Smriti Mandhana's illustrious cricketing career. The left-handed opener remains a pivotal figure for the Indian women's cricket team, and her professional achievements continue to be her primary connection with the public. The family's request for privacy in personal matters is a clear message amidst the noise of speculation.
For now, any talk of a new wedding date or plans remains just that—talk—without any foundation or confirmation from the Mandhana family.
