Singer Palaash Muchhal and ace Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana’s wedding was “indefinitely postponed” just hours before the ceremony on November 23. While the families cited Smriti’s father’s ill health as the reason for the delay, social media is abuzz with a swirling cheating scandal. Rumours claim the singer cheated on Smriti a day before the wedding, turning what began as a straightforward postponement into a messy trail of leaked chats, deleted screenshots, and nonstop speculation online.
Palaash’s old pictures with ex-girlfriend go viral
Amid the cheating allegations, old pictures of Palaash with his ex-girlfriend have resurfaced and gone viral. One photo shows an intimate proposal setup where the singer is seen going down on one knee to propose to his then-partner. Netizens now suspect that Palaash may have been engaged before dating Smriti Mandhana, although no verification has been made regarding this claim.
Social media users have identified Palaash’s ex-girlfriend as Birva Shah, who is currently a plastic surgeon. Netizens suggest the picture was taken a year before Palaash got into a relationship with Smriti. The two started dating in 2019 after they met through mutual friends. They only went public with their relationship last year.

Smriti deletes engagement video from Instagram
After the wedding got postponed, fans noticed that Smriti quietly deleted her engagement and proposal videos from Instagram, adding further fuel to the speculation. Although neither Smriti nor Palaash has addressed the rumours, social media users believe the deletion hints at a deeper issue.
One user on X wrote, “This is not something you delete unless something big has happened.” Another commented, “She deserves peace, not this heartbreak.”
Following the Instagram cleanup, several Reddit threads emerged alleging that Palaash cheated on Smriti with a choreographer who worked at the pre-wedding events. A user claimed that a woman had revealed “flirty chats” between Palaash and the choreographer.
Screenshots of Instagram messages allegedly sent by Palaash to another woman also went viral. Some users insisted the screenshots were genuine, although the date of the conversations could not be confirmed. A Redditor remarked, “The chats are definitely real, but the timing is unknown,” while another wrote, “This is messy if true, but we need to wait for confirmation.”
