Nothing sets the tone for a big fat Indian wedding quite like the Haldi ceremony, and Indian cricket star Smriti Mandhana has already turned hers into a full-blown fashion moment. As the pre-wedding celebrations kicked off ahead of her grand nuptials with long-time partner Palash Muchhal, the internet was treated to the first warm, glowing glimpses and the Haldi style game is already on fire.
Smriti’s Haldi look
In the first visuals floating across social media, Smriti looked every bit the modern bride in a sunny yellow co-ord set, a refreshing choice that blended comfort with chic minimalism. The silhouette was breezy, youthful, and Haldi-perfect, making it ideal for a bride who’s always on the move (on-field or off-field). She accessorised the look with a delicate maang-tikka and matching earrings – traditional, but just understated enough to let the bright hue do all the talking.
Beside her, Palash matched the vibe in a saffron-yellow kurta-pyjama, creating that dreamy twinning moment every couple secretly hopes for. The candid video of Smriti dusting flower petals off his hair and him doing the same in return, has already melted hearts online, thanks to a cricket fan page that shared the clip. Their chemistry radiated through the screen like pure golden-hour glow.
Inside the Muchhals’ Haldi moodboard
Adding to the festivities, Palash’s sister, singer Palak Muchhal, shared her own set of pictures from the celebration. Palak stayed loyal to Haldi tradition in a cheerful yellow salwar suit, while Palash was also seen in a classic kurta set, a shade many grooms pick to let the turmeric stains tell the story.

One of the most adorable frames showed Palak’s husband, composer Mithoon, participating in rituals with Palash, proof that the ceremony was full of family warmth, laughter, and all the typical Haldi chaos we secretly love.
A love story painted in music, cricket, and now haldi
Long before these turmeric-dusted moments went viral, fans spotted Smriti flaunting her stunning engagement ring in a video where she confirmed her engagement while dancing with her teammates. Another clip that still lives on the internet features Palash proposing at a stadium – kneeling on the field, ring in hand, sealing the deal in true cinematic style.From shared passions in cricket and music to secret dating years and now a wedding just around the corner, their journey has been as wholesome as their Haldi ceremony. And if the sunshine-splashed sartorial mood of the day is anything to go by, Smriti Mandhana’s wedding wardrobe is about to be the bridal fashion event of the season.
