When Smriti Mandhana Talked About How Her Ideal Partner Would Be: ‘I’ll Not Be Able To Give…’

Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana and singer Palash Muchhal’s wedding, which was initially set for November 23, has been postponed hours before the wedding as Mandhana’s father had a heart attack-like situation. Hours later, Palash was also hospitalised. Amid the difficult situation, the cricketer’s old interviews have been going viral on social media. Among them, one clip about Smriti talking about the qualities she wants in her life partner has been circulating online. The video is from Kaun Banega Crorepati when she appeared with cricketer Ishan Kishan.

A fan asked her, “Smriti ma’am. You have so many male followers on Instagram. What are the qualities that you like in a man”. To which, she replied, “I did not expect such a question. Accha ladka ho - that is very important.” Amitabh Bachchan then asked her to elaborate. Smriti added, “He should be caring and understand my sport. That is two major qualities that he should have. Because as a girl I will not be able to give him that much time. That thing he should understand and he should care about. These are the things which are top priority. These are the qualities which I will look in a man.”
