Did Palaash Muchhal betray Smriti Mandhana? Alleged flirty messages spark storm amid postponed wedding

Smriti Mandhana and Palaash Muchhal were set to get married on November 23 in Sangli, but the wedding was suddenly postponed after Smriti’s father, Shrinivas Mandhana, was taken to the hospital on the same day. Soon after the family shared that the ceremony would be pushed to a later date, screenshots of chats allegedly involving Palaash began spreading across social media, leading many fans to wonder if there was more behind the delay than just the family health scare.

Smriti Mandhana: wedding paused, family first abd public reaction grows

Smriti Mandhana removed wedding posts from her Instagram after the family emergency, which made fans notice the change fast. 

The wedding was to be a private ceremony at the Mandhana farmhouse in Samdol, Sangli, on November 23. 

Her team told media the event was postponed because of her father’s sudden chest pain and hospital stay. Fans sent prayers and messages for her family.

As the posts came down, social media filled with questions. Some users praised Smriti for putting family first. 

Others began sharing the leaked images that show a chat with a woman named Mary D’Costa claiming she spoke with Palaash. These screenshots include messages about meeting for a swim and talk of long-distance trouble. 

News sites picked up the story and reported the screenshots were widely circulated. But major outlets note they could not verify the messages were real. 

Palaash Muchhal: alleged chats, family defends him and fact-checks continue

Palak Muchhal, Palaash’s sister, confirmed the wedding postponement and asked for privacy while the family deals with health issues. She has not publicly confirmed or denied the chat screenshots. 

Some reports say the woman who posted the messages later deleted them. Media outlets including Moneycontrol and Gulf News say that the online claims are unverified and that investigators are seeking more proof before calling anything true. 

The online mood is split. Some users angrily accused Palaash of cheating, while others warned against rushing to judge without proof. 

News organisations reached out to Palaash’s camp and to Palak Muchhal for comment; many reports say no detailed response had been given at the time of publication. 

Because this involves private messages and health issues, reporters continue to seek confirmation before treating the screenshots as fact.
