Just days after the announcement that his much-talked-about wedding with Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana had been postponed, filmmaker and music composer Palash Muchhal has found himself at the centre of a major social-media storm. What began as whispers on Reddit quickly escalated into a full-blown online debate after alleged screenshots of a private conversation between Palash and another woman began circulating widely.
Did Palash Muchhal Cheat on Smriti Mandhana? Viral Screenshots Spark Buzz
The controversy gained momentum when an unidentified woman believed by some posts to be Mary D’Costa shared screenshots claiming she had been chatting with Palash. The exchanges, which she described as “flirtatious,” instantly went viral across Instagram, Reddit, and X.
This development came shortly after Palash’s sister, singer Palak Muchhal, confirmed that the wedding, initially planned for 23 November in Sangli, had been postponed. Earlier, the delay was linked to the hospitalisation of Smriti Mandhana’s father. Later, unverified reports also suggested that Palash himself had been admitted to a hospital, adding more confusion to an already complicated situation.
What the Alleged Screenshots Claim
The screenshots, whose authenticity has not been verified, as clarified by BollywoodLife – appear to show Palash complimenting the woman on her appearance. Referencing his “long-distance” relationship with Smriti Mandhana. Inviting her for outings, including a spa session, a swim, and even a spontaneous early-morning trip to Versova Beach.
If genuine, the tone of the conversation has raised eyebrows, with many interpreting it as flirtatious and inappropriate – especially given the timing.
A Social-Media Storm With Divided Opinions
As is often the case with viral controversies, reactions online have been sharply split. Critics slammed Palash for reportedly engaging in questionable behaviour so close to his wedding. Others urged caution, pointing out that the screenshots remain unverified and stressing that both families are already dealing with sensitive personal matters. Some users also warned against online harassment or drawing conclusions without confirmation from either Palash or Smriti.
So far, neither party has issued an official statement addressing the viral material or the rumours surrounding the postponed wedding.
While the authenticity of the screenshots remains unclear, the episode has undeniably added fuel to the already intense public curiosity surrounding Palash and Smriti’s postponed wedding. Until an official clarification comes, much of the ongoing speculation remains just that – speculation.
