Smriti and Palash met through a common friend in Mumbai in 2019 - this meeting marked the beginning of their bond.
Despite both being busy in top-level careers, their friendship grew steadily and turned into a special relationship.
Both chose to keep their love life private. Their relationship remained hidden from the public eye until they completed 5 years.
After 5 years together, they finally confirmed their relationship on social media with a joint post.
Fans first suspected their relationship when Palash’s hand tattoo “SM18” (Smriti’s jersey number) went viral before the official announcement.
Palash proposed to Smriti at DY Patil Stadium - the same ground where India won the Women’s World Cup - making it a symbolic and emotional moment leading to their 2025 wedding.
