Smriti Mandhana-Palash Muchhal Wedding Postponed: 5 Latest Updates Including Viral Photos of Singer’s Ex

The much-anticipated wedding of Indian women’s cricket team vice-captain Smriti Mandhana and singer Palash Muchhal, originally scheduled for 23 November in Sangli, Maharashtra, was postponed at the last moment due to the sudden illness of Smriti’s father. Despite completing pre-wedding rituals like Haldi and Sangeet, the families decided to defer the wedding indefinitely.

Here are the five latest updates regarding the wedding and associated social media buzz:

1. Smriti’s Father Discharged from Hospital
Smriti’s father, Srinivas Mandhana, is reportedly in stable condition and was discharged from Sarvahit Hospital in Sangli on Tuesday. He has returned home, but there has been no official announcement from either family regarding a new wedding date.

2. Viral Photos of Palash with His Ex-Girlfriend
Old photos of Palash Muchhal with his ex-girlfriend have resurfaced on social media. Users claim the woman is Birwa Shah, a plastic surgeon. One of the viral photos shows Palash on one knee, proposing to his ex. Many are drawing comparisons with how Palash proposed to Smriti on the pitch at DY Patil Stadium, a moment he also shared on Instagram. NBT has not verified the authenticity of the viral images.

3. Did Smriti Unfollow Palash on Instagram?
Rumors circulated that Smriti deleted wedding-related posts and unfollowed Palash on Instagram. However, TOI Sports reports these claims are false. Smriti continues to follow Palash on social media.

4. The Mary D’Costa Controversy
Social media claims linked the wedding postponement to a choreographer, Mary D’Costa, involved in dance arrangements for the wedding. Reports of ‘flirty WhatsApp chats’ between Palash and Mary have also circulated, though their authenticity remains unverified. Very little public information exists about Mary D’Costa apart from her work as a choreographer overseeing wedding performances.

5. Smriti Skips KBC Special Episode
Reports suggest that Smriti Mandhana may have opted out of a special episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) celebrating India’s women’s cricket team World Cup victory. While the episode features captain Harmanpreet Kaur and several teammates, Smriti’s name reportedly does not appear, even though she was the team’s highest run-scorer. The reasons for her absence remain unclear.

The postponement of Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal’s wedding continues to generate significant social media attention, fueled by viral photos, speculation, and ongoing curiosity about the couple’s future plans.
