Did Palaash Muchhal Cheat on Smriti Mandhana?
Indian women’s cricket team star Smriti Mandhana and music composer–filmmaker Palaash Muchhal had postponed their wedding after Smriti’s father, Srinivas Mandhana, suffered a heart attack. The wedding was scheduled for 23 November in Sangli. However, rumours suggest that the real reason behind the cancellation may be different. Smriti and Palaash have reportedly been in a relationship for around six years—yet now, allegations of Palaash cheating have surfaced.
The Buzz
Smriti Mandhana has deleted all pre-wedding function photos from her Instagram.
Reports say wedding preparations were in full swing, and the ceremony was set to take place in a private event in Sangli on November 23. During the Sangeet night, Smriti’s father complained of chest pain and was rushed to the hospital. Following his heart attack, the wedding was postponed indefinitely. This was confirmed by Palaash’s sister and singer Palak Muchhal, and Smriti’s manager Tuhin Mishra, who appealed for privacy.
But soon after the postponement announcement, a shocking twist emerged. A woman posted screenshots of her allegedly flirty chats with Palaash, which went viral on Reddit.
The Viral Screenshots
A woman named Mary D’Costa posted Instagram stories showing screenshots of her chats with Palaash.
In these chats:
Palaash talks openly about his “long-distance relationship” with Smriti.
He praises Mary frequently.
Invites her to join him for swimming, spa, and even to meet at Versova Beach at 5 AM.
When Mary asks him if he loves Smriti, Palaash allegedly avoids answering directly.
The screenshots quickly spread across Reddit, sparking huge controversy.
Was Palaash Muchhal Cheating on Smriti Mandhana?
While the authenticity of the screenshots is unverified, several Reddit users claim that Palaash was romantically involved with a choreographer during the wedding festivities—suggesting it could be the real reason behind the wedding halt.
Social media reactions were strong.
Some trolled Palaash heavily, while others said the family should be left alone during a sensitive time.
One Reddit user wrote:
“Smriti is a strong woman who’s won a World Cup, but even for her, this kind of betrayal would be painful.”
Smriti Deletes Engagement Posts
Earlier, Palaash had proposed to Smriti in a filmy style at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai.
Both had shared:
