Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana and music composer Palash Muchhal were supposed to get married on November 23, 2025. Following her father's heart attack, the family decided to postpone the wedding. However, a few days later, several screenshots surfaced on social media showing Palash allegedly having flings with girls while he was in a relationship with Smriti.
Smriti even removed the wedding photos. One of the females, named Mary D'Costa, shared screenshots of Palash chatting with her. She even claimed that she had never met him, but the chats happened in May 2025, and at that time, no one believed her.
Palash's mother and sister, Palak, kept stating that the wedding was delayed, not cancelled.
Amid Palash's past gaining limelight and many girls claiming to have flings with him, Smriti's maintaining silence confirmed that something was wrong.

On Sunday, Smriti Mandanna released an official statement on Instagram regarding the matter and added that she would like to end the matter by setting the record straight.
"Over the past few weeks, there has been plenty of speculation around my life, and I feel it is important for me to speak out at this time. I am a very private person and I would like to keep it that way, but I need to clarify that the wedding is called off," Mandhana said.
"I would like to close this matter here and implore all of you to do the same. I request you to please respect the privacy of both families at this time and allow us the space to process and move on at our own pace," she added.

Palash Muchhal released his side of the statement and said that he will now move on from his relationship with Smriti Mandhana.
He also added that he would take strict legal action against those spreading false and defamatory content against him on social media.
"I have decided to move on in my life and step back from my personal relationship. It's been very difficult for me to see people react so easily on baseless rumours about something which has been most sacred to me. It's the most difficult phase of my life, and I will deal with it gracefully, holding on to my beliefs," Palash Muchhal said in a statement.
"I truly hope we, as a society, learn to pause before judging someone based on unverified gossip, whose sources are never identified. Our words can wound in ways we may never understand. While we think about these things, many people in the world are facing drastic consequences. My team will be taking strict legal action against those spreading false and defamatory content. Thank you to everyone who has stood by me with kindness in this tough time," he concluded.
