India women's cricket superstar Smriti Mandhana put an end to all speculations around her wedding with music composer Palash Muchhal, confirming that it has been called off in a social media post on Sunday. A photo of her grinding back at the nets also surfaced online as the Indian women's team are set to engage in a T20I series against Sri Lanka later this month. The five-match series begins on December 21.
Amidst the recent turn of events involving Mandhana's personal life, an old interview of the cricketer where she speaks about overcoming adversity has resurfaced.
The interview is from her interaction with Humans of Bombay three years ago. She had then said: "It's pretty easy for me. I have short-term goals. Say if I feel low today, I will just start writing what I have to work on for the next six days or for the next seven days, in my batting or in my fitness. So once I start doing that, I just forget what's happening. I just focus on what I have to do."
"So when I change my headspace into what I have to do in the next 6-7 days, I don't know, I just feel like there's so much to look forward to," she added.
Mandhana is attempting to gather the bravery to begin anew after being forced to deal with what may be the biggest setback in her personal life. "You have to always start your day as a new day because you start your innings on zero, even if you score a hundred," she had said in the video. "So that's the biggest takeaway from what I have learnt. Whatever happens in your life the next day is a fresh day," she mentioned.
