Smriti Mandhana and Palaash Muchhal’s wedding drama has taken over the internet, and honestly, it feels like every hour there’s a new twist. What was supposed to be a beautiful, celebratory moment for the couple has turned into a full-blown online spectacle. From whispers about the wedding being called off for good to rumours accusing Palaash of being unfaithful with multiple women, fans can’t stop talking. Discussion threads on Reddit are overflowing, and people are dissecting every little detail. For those who missed the early buzz, Smriti and Palaash were meant to tie the knot on November 23, 2025 but now, thanks to the cheating chatter and some eyebrow-raising Instagram activity from Smriti’s circle, things look messier than ever.



The rumours surrounding Palaash’s alleged infidelity started floating around right after the couple postponed their wedding due to Smriti’s father’s health concerns. The postponement alone raised questions, but what really set the internet on fire was the sudden social media cleanup. A couple of Smriti’s teammates quietly removed all wedding-related posts, and Smriti herself wiped almost every picture with Palaash from her feed, leaving only his birthday post behind. She even untagged herself from their engagement video. And just when things seemed to calm down a little, another wave hit. UP Warriorz player Kranti Gaud shared a video hinting at cheating, and fans instantly tied it to the ongoing buzz around Palaash.



Naturally, Reddit users caught on to Kranti’s repost within minutes. Some people felt it had to be a slip of the finger, but others were convinced it was intentional, especially since Kranti is pretty active on social media and knows her way around it. A large chunk of the fanbase believes Smriti’s teammates already know what went down between her and Palaash, and their online behaviour is basically subtle solidarity. And it isn’t just Kranti. Other teammates’ recent Instagram moves have also been pulled into the narrative, adding even more fuel to the fire.



One of the posts that caught the most attention was a cryptic quote doing the rounds:



"If something leaves your life—a person, a job, a chapter—trust the divine precision behind it. Shiva is the Lord of Destruction, but never of chaos. Whatever He removes, He does for your liberation. What seems like loss today will reveal itself as protection tomorrow."




Many fans felt the timing of this message was… well, too coincidental.



Meanwhile, more pieces of the puzzle surfaced. Another close friend and teammate, Radha Yadav, reportedly unfollowed Palaash on Instagram right when screenshots of alleged conversations between him and a woman named Mary D’Costa resurfaced. Mary claimed that Palaash had been sending her flirty messages and asking to meet privately. When she pressed him about his relationship with Smriti, he allegedly described it as “dead” due to the long distance. This, paired with rumours connecting him to two more women—including their own wedding choreographer—only intensified the chatter.



At this point, fans are reading into every unfollow, every repost, and every silence.
