Their bond charmed fans of both cricket and entertainment with its warmth, joy, and deep mutual respect. The couple began dating nearly six years ago, quietly marking milestones until last year, when they celebrated their fifth anniversary. Palash proposed late last year, and the two planned to marry on November 23 in Smriti’s hometown of Sangli, Maharashtra.

Reports say their romance began in 2019, when their friendship naturally evolved into something more. Even though their fields—music and cricket—seem worlds apart, their drive, creativity, and passion created an instant bond that strengthened over time.

They chose to stay private for years, appearing together only occasionally on social media. With Palash immersed in his musical and film work and Smriti focused on cricket, their low-key approach only highlighted the respect they had for each other’s careers.

A turning point came in July 2024, when they acknowledged their relationship publicly on their fifth anniversary through a simple yet meaningful Instagram post. It felt like a promise—an open celebration of a love that had quietly flourished.

Right after India’s stunning Women’s Cricket World Cup win, Palash proudly showed a tattoo of Smriti’s initials and jersey number, celebrating both her success and their love. Soon after, two viral Instagram reels followed: one of Palash leading a blindfolded Smriti to the DY Patil Stadium—where he proposed—and another of Smriti dancing with her teammates before revealing her engagement ring. Both videos showed how deeply she is cherished on and off the field.
