Palash Muchhal allegedly cheated on Smriti Mandhana with choreographer night before wedding; old proposal to ex goes viral

Music composer and filmmaker Palash Muchhal was all set to marry Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana on Sunday, November 23, 2025. The pre-wedding festivities were in full swing, with haldi, sangeet, and mehendi clips going viral on social media.

However, the wedding was suddenly postponed after reports emerged that Smriti Mandhana's father had suffered a heart attack. It was also reported that Palash was unwell. Although the wedding venue was Smriti's hometown, Sangli, Palash was rushed to Mumbai and admitted to a hospital in Goregaon due to an infection.

With both families preoccupied, the wedding was called off, and no new date has been announced so far.

Amid Smriti's father's health scare, rumours surfaced online claiming Palash had cheated during the wedding festivities with a choreographer. Several Reddit posts alleged that Palash had fled to Mumbai and could have stayed in Sangli to support Smriti.

Palash was later moved to Mumbai with his family. 

Some netizens claim the wedding was put on hold because Palash cheated on Smriti and was allegedly caught with a choreographer the night before the wedding. There is no confirmation on this, and neither Palash nor Smriti has issued any statement regarding the allegations or the status of their wedding.

A user wrote, "Palash Muchhal cheated on Smriti Mandhana with a choreographer just the night before. Earlier today, the news claimed that Palash had been hospitalised, but that was only a cover-up because he actually ran away on the wedding day. Also, Mandhana deleted all pre-wedding Insta posts. Jemimah also deleted the reel that they posted with Smriti and the girl gang after the engagement.."

Meanwhile, amid the controversy, an old picture of Palash proposing to his ex, Birva Shah, has gone viral. In the photo from 2017, Palash is seen on one knee, proposing in a romantic setup decorated with flowers, balloons, and lights. Netizens claim the proposal looked similar to how he recently proposed to Smriti at the DY Patil Stadium, where he also went down on his knees and sang for her.

Eagle-eyed internet users have begun digging into Palash's past relationships, adding more fuel to the online chatter.

Following the cheating rumours, Smriti has deleted all her engagement and pre-wedding posts from Instagram.
