Smriti Mandhana Calls Off Wedding with Palash Muchhal, Urges Privacy

Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana has officially confirmed the cancellation of her wedding with music composer and singer, Palash Muchhal. The announcement puts an end to weeks of speculation surrounding their relationship. Mandhana addressed the situation, requesting privacy for both families as they navigate this difficult time.

Mandhana and Muchhal had been reportedly dating since 2019, maintaining a low profile for several years. They publicly acknowledged their relationship in July 2024, celebrating their fifth anniversary with a heartfelt message on Instagram. In October 2025, Muchhal subtly confirmed their upcoming wedding, mentioning that Mandhana would soon become "the daughter-in-law of Indore".

The wedding was initially scheduled for November 23, 2025, in Sangli, Maharashtra, Mandhana's hometown. Pre-wedding celebrations were underway, and fans eagerly anticipated the event. However, the wedding was postponed due to a medical emergency involving Mandhana's father, Srinivas Mandhana, who was hospitalized. Subsequently, Muchhal was also admitted to the hospital, reportedly due to stress.

In the wake of the postponement, rumors and speculation began circulating online. Reports suggested changes in the couple's social media activity, with Mandhana allegedly deleting wedding-related posts. Unconfirmed allegations of infidelity also surfaced, further fueling the speculation. However, neither Mandhana nor Muchhal have publicly addressed these allegations. Mandhana's brother, Shravan Mandhana, refuted rumors of a new wedding date.

Mandhana broke her silence on December 7, 2025, confirming that the wedding had been called off. She requested privacy for both families to process the situation. She also reiterated her commitment to her cricketing career and representing India on the global stage. Muchhal has also confirmed that the wedding is off.

Smriti Mandhana is a prominent figure in women's cricket, known for her achievements and endorsements. Palash Muchhal is a music composer, filmmaker, and philanthropist. He and his sister, Palak Muchhal, have organized stage shows to raise funds for children needing heart surgeries.
