Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 is set to air a special episode featuring the stars of the Indian Women’s Cricket Team. Amitabh Bachchan will be joining Harmanpreet Kaur, Harleen Deol, Richa Ghosh, Shafali Verma, Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana and Head Coach Amol Muzumdar for an entertaining cricket-filled segment. But the one player fans immediately noticed was missing is smriti mandhana.
The left-handed opener has been in the news for several weeks, not only for India’s recent World Cup victory but also because of developments in her personal life. Earlier this month, smriti mandhana was expected to tie the knot with singer Palaash Muchhal on November 23. However, just hours before the ceremony, her father, Srinivas Mandhana, suffered a heart attack and had to be hospitalised. As a result, the wedding was officially postponed.
In the days that followed, fans were closely watching smriti mandhana social media. What shocked many was her sudden decision to delete all wedding and engagement-related posts, including the much-loved proposal video. Adding to the mystery, her close friends Jemimah Rodrigues and Shreyanka Patil also removed the wedding announcement video from their profiles.
This has naturally raised several questions among fans, who want to understand what exactly happened. So far, neither smriti mandhana nor her family has shared any further update about the postponed ceremony. The only confirmed development is that her father has now been discharged from the hospital and is recovering well. Beyond that, the cricketer has remained silent.
Her absence from the KBC special episode has only added fuel to the speculation. Viewers were looking forward to seeing the full World Cup squad together, but smriti mandhana choosing to skip the appearance suggests she is currently prioritising her family and privacy.
As discussions continue across social media platforms, fans are hoping that smriti mandhana addresses the situation soon. Whether she chooses to speak publicly or not, the cricketer’s supporters have expressed their respect for her decision to maintain privacy during a difficult personal phase.
