Smriti Mandhana and Palaash Muchhal wedding twist as choreographer Gulnaaz Khan responds to shock rumours

Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana and music composer Palaash Muchhal were going to get married on November 23 in Sangli. But just before the ceremony, the families stopped everything because two people at home had sudden health problems. This made the wedding pause, and soon, many stories started spreading online.

Some people on social media began to say wrong things about choreographers Nandika Dwivedi and Gulnaaz Khan. These claims were not proven by anyone, but they spread very fast. While the internet was talking, the real issue inside the families was only about health and stress.

Smriti Mandhana’s father, Shrinivas Mandhana, suddenly felt strong chest pain and was rushed to Sarvhit Hospital. Doctors checked him and said his heart was safe, and he was later discharged. But the fear and shock came at a very sensitive time.

Then, the next day, Palaash felt chest pain, breathlessness and uneasiness. His family took him to the hospital too. Doctors later said his problem came from stress, not a big heart issue. This made both families stop all wedding plans so everyone could rest and feel calm again.

Gulnaaz Khan denies online claims involving her and Nandika Dwivedi

As the rumours grew, choreographer Gulnaaz Khan decided to speak and clear the air. She put out a note on her Instagram Stories. In her message, she said that the things being said about her and her friend Nandika Dwivedi were not true.

She wrote that people should not think she or Nandika were involved in anything just because they know the couple or have photos with them. Gulnaaz asked everyone to stay kind and not make quick guesses. Her message was simple and clear so that the rumours would stop.

Nandika has not shared any statement. Reports say she has made her social media private for now. Even Smriti Mandhana and Palaash Muchhal have not spoken about the rumours. They have only focused on the health issues at home.

Smriti Mandhana and her bridesmaids have also removed all wedding photos from their accounts. This made the internet talk even more, but the families have kept repeating that the wedding stopped only because of health scares.

Palaash’s mother, Amita Muchhal, said in a new interview that both Smriti Mandhana and Palaash are very emotional right now. She shared that Palaash himself asked to postpone the wedding after Smriti’s father fell sick. She also said the wedding will still happen soon and the families will decide a new date once everyone feels better.

For now, both families want peace and time to heal. The wedding is only delayed, not cancelled.
