Although the official reason given was Smriti Mandhana's father’s illness, social media speculated otherwise, with unverified Reddit claims alleging Palaash Muchchal’s infidelity and leaked chats briefly circulating before disappearing
Palaash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana
The internet erupted last weekend after rumours surfaced that filmmaker Palash Muchhal cheated on Indian cricket star Smriti Mandhana just days before their planned wedding. What started as a straightforward statement of a postponement due to her father's illness has now devolved into a tangled web of leaked communications, deleted screenshots, and endless rumour threads online.
Fans spotted Mandhana surreptitiously deleting her engagement and proposal videos from Instagram, which just added fuel to the already-burning narrative. While the pair has not acknowledged any of these claims, social media users are convinced that there is more to the official explanation.
A postponed wedding and persistent questions
Mandhana's family declared that the wedding would not take place due to her father's severe illness, which required immediate treatment. The statement requested privacy, and many fans gave her heartfelt wishes.
But the mood shifted soon. Within a day, people discovered that Mandhana had deleted all wedding-related posts. Her proposal video, engagement photos, and sangeet images were all gone. A member on X stated inside a viral post, "This is not something you delete unless something big has happened." Another fan said, "She deserves peace, not this heartbreak."
Soon after the Instagram purge, Reddit threads surfaced alleging that Palaash Muchhal had cheated on Mandhana with a choreographer who worked at the pre-wedding gatherings. A user claimed that a strange woman revealed "flirty chats" between Palash and the girl.
Chats leaked sparking cheating controversy
Screenshots were momentarily viewable before being erased. Some individuals reported that the texts were genuine, albeit the date of the communications was unclear. A Redditor commented, "The chats are definitely real, but the timing is unknown," while another said, "This is messy if true, but we need to wait for confirmation."
Someone on Insta posted ss of Palash DMing her.

Another Reddit discussion offered a new spin. Palaash allegedly kissed a woman four days before his engagement. Several anonymous testimonies stated they observed the incident during dancing rehearsals. One user said, "People spotted them together. This was not a one-time occurrence," while another added, "If this is true, she avoided a bullet."

Netizens even expressed rage in the comment section of his proposal video. A user wrote, "I just want to say that if all that I'm reading is true, then I feel so bad for Smriti, she looks like such a good person. I hope her family is at peace, and I hope that they find happiness, and I hope that she finds someone much, much better than this guy. I feel so bad, girls. I hope that we never watch his movies ever again and boycott this guy." Another one added, 'A man would do this and still cheat on you! Not even worthy of being called a man'
While many of them called him a cheater and commented that the wedding got cancelled after Smriti came to know about his cheating.
