Palash Muchhal, Smriti Mandhana’s Husband-To-Be, Shows Off 'SM18' Tattoo After Women's World Cup Win

India's historic triumph in the Women's World Cup 2025 has brought joy across the nation - and none was prouder than music composer and director Palash Muchhal, who is all set to marry vice-captain Smriti Mandhana later this month. As India lifted the trophy after a thrilling final against South Africa, Palash congratulated Smriti with a touching post and revealed a tattoo dedicated to her.

The composer shared a photo of Smriti celebrating with the trophy and was seen with "SM18" inked on his arm - representing Smriti's initials, her birth date (July 18), and her jersey number. Captioning the post "Sabse aage hai hum Hindustani," Palash's tribute instantly went viral, drawing admiration from fans who praised the couple's bond.

Fans Applaud Palash's Gesture

Social media quickly lit up with reactions to the post. One fan commented, "Men hyping their women is the best genre," while another wrote, "The tattoo, the man, and the trophy - she got everything!" The heartwarming gesture added a personal note to India's celebratory night, with many calling the couple "a perfect blend of art and sport."

Upcoming Wedding Plans

The couple, who have been dating for a while, are reportedly planning to tie the knot on November 20. Though an official confirmation of the date is awaited, Palash had previously hinted at their relationship during India's World Cup match against England in Indore - marking the first time he publicly acknowledged their engagement.

Speaking at the State Press Club earlier this year, Palash said with a smile, "She will soon become the daughter-in-law of Indore. That's all I want to say. I've given you the headline."

As fans continue to celebrate India's World Cup glory, Smriti Mandhana's record-breaking performance and her love story with Palash Muchhal have added an emotional, celebratory touch to an already unforgettable victory.
