Amid a surge of social media speculation regarding the personal life of Indian cricketer Ishan Kishan, his mother, Suchitra Devi, has clarified that the star wicketkeeper-batter is currently focused solely on his professional career. The statement comes after comments from Kishan’s grandfather sparked widespread rumours of an impending wedding to model Aditi Hundia. Who Is Aditi Hundia?

The buzz intensified during the ongoing 2026 T20 World Cup, where Kishan has been in standout form, most recently scoring a match-winning 77 against Pakistan. While fans celebrated his on-field success, headlines shifted toward his personal life after his grandfather, Anurag Pandey, publicly acknowledged Kishan’s relationship with Hundia and expressed the family's blessing for a potential union.

Speaking to IANS, Suchitra Devi sought to temper the excitement, emphasising that her son is not yet at an age where marriage is a primary consideration. She noted that the family’s priority remains Kishan’s contribution to the national team.
"Shaadi nahi abhi khel ka samay hai. Ishan ki umar hi kya hui hai ki shadi ki baat kare. Shadi ki koi baat nahi hai. Dadaji thoda old hoh gaye hai. Budhe logo ko thoda excitement rehta hi hai. Social media pe aate rehta hai, unko rehta hai excitement lekin aise koi baat nai hai," she told IANS.
(It is not the time for marriage, but for playing. Ishan is not yet of an age to talk about marriage. There is no talk of a wedding. Grandfather has grown a bit old, and elderly people often get excited. Things keep appearing on social media, and he gets excited by them, but there is no such matter.)

Origins of the Speculation
The rumours gained traction earlier this week when Anurag Pandey spoke to reporters in Bihar. He confirmed that the family was aware of Ishan’s relationship with the Jaipur-based model, stating, "We are ready to accept whoever Ishan Kishan wants to marry. Aditi is his girlfriend... she is a model. One should accept what makes children happy."
Aditi Hundia, a former Femina Miss India 2017 finalist and Miss Diva 2018 winner, has been a familiar face in the stands during the Indian Premier League (IPL) and international matches. Although the pair has been linked for several years, this marked the first time a family member had openly commented on the relationship.
Focus Remains on the T20 World Cup
Despite the off-field chatter, Ishan Kishan remains a pivotal figure in India’s T20 World Cup campaign. After a period away from the national T20I squad, Kishan earned his spot back through a prolific domestic season, leading Jharkhand to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy title.

Team management and fans alike are looking to the young opener to maintain his aggressive form as India progresses through the tournament. For now, it appears the only "partnership" the Kishan family is focused on is the one at the top of the batting order.
