Music composer Palash Muchhal has publicly announced that his wedding to Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana has been called off.
On Sunday, he shared a lengthy note on his Instagram Stories. He said he has decided to ‘take a step back’ from the relationship.
In his statement, Muchhal expressed the emotional toll of facing online speculation.
“It’s been very difficult for me to see people react so easily to baseless rumours about something that has been most sacred to me. It’s the most difficult phase of my life, and I will deal with it gracefully, holding on to my beliefs,” he wrote.
Palash Muchhal urged society to pause before judging based on unverified gossip.
He further added, “Our words can wound in ways we may never understand… many people in the world are facing drastic consequences. My team will be taking strict legal action against those spreading false and defamatory content.”
Muchhal also thanked supporters for standing by him during this challenging time.
Palash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana were scheduled to marry on November 23, 2025, in Sangli, Maharashtra. The wedding was postponed due to a health emergency involving Mandhana’s father.
Following the delay, screenshots allegedly showing conversations between Muchhal and another woman began circulating online.
The alleged messages, which date back several months, reportedly suggest that Muchhal invited the woman to meet while being evasive about his relationship status.
The Instagram account that first shared the chats has since been deactivated.
The cheating allegations remain unverified, with no confirmed proof beyond the leaked screenshots.
