Smriti’s Father’s Health
Smriti’s father, Shrinivas Mandhana, suddenly developed chest pains, and on Sunday afternoon, these pains intensified during breakfast. He was taken to the hospital, and the doctors found indicators of angina and high cardiac enzymes. His blood pressure was extremely high as well, and he was held under observation. The Smriti Mandhana family are holding on and don’t wish to discuss these things further for now.
Smriti’s wedding was decided not to proceed further as long as her father was sick, since she is very intimate with him. Her manager assured the media that the ceremony had been postponed indefinitely and would not resume until her father is fully healed.
Palash Muchhal Gets Hospitalized
Not long after the announcement, the situation had another emotional twist. Palash Muchhal, the fiancé of Smriti, was too disturbed by the turn of events, and he was said to have wept for hours. After the postponement of Smriti’s wedding, he was also hospitalized in Sangli and then moved to a hospital in Mumbai.
His mother disclosed that Palash is so attached to Smriti’s father and was the first person to mention that the marriage should not go on until his recovery.
Smriti Deletes Wedding Photos, Stoking Speculation
As families were addressing medical issues, social media detected another thing. Following Mandhana’s wedding cancellation, her Instagram has no engagement photos, videos, or pre-wedding-related posts.
The abrupt removal of Smriti Mandhana marriage photos caused several questions to be raised on whether something more had occurred behind the scenes. About misunderstandings, emotional stress, and even relationship problems between the Indian cricket star and Muchhal.
Social Media Reaction and Speculation
After her wedding was postponed on November 23, 2025, due to her father’s health emergency, Smriti Mandhana still has older casual photos with Palash Muchhal, and he has not posted any wedding-related content either. This selective deletion caused fans to speculate about possible relationship issues, beyond the confirmed reason of her father’s illness.
Some of Mandhana’s teammates also removed or archived related posts. Jemimah Rodrigues, Shreyanka Patil, and Radha Yadav were among those who did so, which led fans to wonder if there were deeper problems.
Online discussions, including Reddit threads and Instagram reels, spread rumors of conflicts, stress, or even a breakup, causing Mandhana wedding to be postponed. Palash’s sister, Palak Muchhal, asked fans to respect their privacy and clarified that the postponement was only because of Smriti’s father’s health.
Palash’s Chat with Mary D’Costa Goes Viral
However, after Mandhana deleted the pre-wedding photos from her social media handles, new rumours started to circulate shortly. It was reported that the inappropriate conversations might have occurred between Palash Muchhal and Mary D’Costa, whom everyone has been misinterpreting as their choreographer.
As per the recent statement made by D’Costa on her Instagram handle, she is not the choreographer for Smriti and Palash’s wedding, and she is not the person with whom he cheated. However, she further mentioned that the chats that are going viral on social media are from April-May 2025.
Deepen Mary D’Costa Controversy
Recently, Palash Muchhal’s scandal and screenshots of flirty chats between him and Mary D’Costa from April to May 2025 spread online. The messages talked about going out to swim, going to the spa, and going to Versova beach. Palash also said he was upset with his relationship with Smriti and called it “dead,” but he didn’t answer any direct questions about her.
Mary made it clear that the chats were from a short one-month period, that there were no meetings or romantic involvement, and that they were posted online in July 2025 without much attention at the time. She also made it clear that she was not the wedding’s choreographer and warned people not to believe fake social media accounts that spread false information.
Despite the clarification, the viral nature of the messages reignited speculation among fans and social media users. While nothing has been confirmed, the online discussion continues to fuel curiosity and debates among followers of the couple.
Jemimah Rodrigues’ Withdrawal from WBBL

She had originally gone back to India to help with the wedding. But the wedding was postponed indefinitely because of Mandhana’s family emergency. She decided to stay behind to help her emotionally.

Amit Mishra’s Take
The concerning case of Smriti Mandhana wedding has become more complex than anybody could imagine. What started as a happy party has now turned into a combination of medical panic, emotional instability, and gossip on the internet. Although the actual and verified cause of the postponement is not revealed yet, the abrupt removal of Mandhana’s marriage photos and the unverified news about Palash have just served to confuse the matter.
With her teammates also deleting the engagement photos, the tension has further risen between the two families. At the moment, the most important thing is the healing of Smriti’s father and providing everyone involved with the necessary room to deal with the situation with honor.
