"Shaadi nahi—khel ka samay hai!": After Ishan Kishan-Aditi Hundia's relationship was confirmed by his grandfather, his mom denies wedding buzz

India's star wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan is the talk of the town these days, for both his on-field and off-field antics. While fans are following his game in the ongoing T20 World Cup, lately, it's his love life that is stealing headlines. Is he tying the knot with Jaipur model Aditi Hundia? His family weighs in, with mixed signals and a firm reality check. Here's how:

When Ishan Kishan's grandfather confirmed his relationship with Aditi Hundia

Recently, Ishan Kishan's grandfather, Anurag Pandey, made a big revelation about his personal life. Pandey told ANI in an interview, "We accept whoever Ishan chooses. Aditi is his girlfriend, a model. What makes kids happy matters." The revelation not only went viral on the internet, it also led to rumours about Ishan and Aditi getting married soon.

However, a few days after this incident, it now appears that Ishan's wedding to Aditi will take some time.

Ishan's mom Suchitra steps in: "Shaadi nahi—khel ka samay hai!"

Enter Ishan's mom, Suchitra Devi, shutting down his wedding rumours in an IANS interview.

"It's not about marriage, it is time for him to play cricket. He's not old enough to talk about marriage. Grandpa is getting a little old. Old people are always a little excited. Something or the other keeps coming up on social media. He said all this based on what he saw on social media," Ishan's mom told IANS.

She stressed his career peak and further said, "His focus is on Team India matches, performances, responsibilities. When he calls, we skip cricket chat—he knows the field best. Let's celebrate his contributions, not personal life."

Why this family drama feels relatable to fans

At 28, Ishan juggles stardom and public scrutiny. His dating buzz with Aditi—fueled by their cosy sightings and now family nods—feels relatable to his cricket-crazy fans. But his mom, Suchitra's "play first" mantra, echoes parental wisdom: Protect your dream first. Meanwhile, Ishan's grandfather's progressive views and acceptance of Aditi as Ishan's girlfriend is a win for modern love. As Ishan continues to focus on cricket, will his wedding bells ring later? For now, his mom's word is final.
