Indian women’s cricket star Smriti Mandhana has officially confirmed that her wedding with Bollywood music composer Palash Muchhal has been called off. After nearly two weeks of rumours, unanswered questions, and social media speculation, Mandhana issued a clear statement explaining her decision and requested privacy for both families.
Smriti said she had been hearing several speculations about her personal life and felt it was the right time to address them directly. She clarified that the wedding has been cancelled and requested everyone to stop circulating rumours. She expressed that her focus remains entirely on cricket, representing India at the highest level, and working towards winning major tournaments for the country. She urged fans and media to allow her and her family to move forward peacefully.
Palash Muchhal also released a statement confirming the cancellation. He wrote that he had decided to move forward in life and step back from the relationship. He expressed disappointment over baseless rumours and said it has been a difficult emotional phase for him. Palash requested people not to judge anyone without facts and warned that his team would take strict action against those spreading false or defamatory content. He thanked everyone who supported him during this challenging time.
Smriti and Palash were scheduled to marry on November 23, and their pre-wedding events like haldi, mehendi, and sangeet had already taken place. Photos from these celebrations had gone viral online. However, the wedding was postponed after reports surfaced about Smriti’s father being hospitalised. Later, rumours about personal differences and allegations against Palash also spread widely, adding to the confusion. While families earlier indicated that the wedding would take place after her father’s recovery, both Smriti and Palash have now confirmed that the marriage stands cancelled.
The couple’s decision has put an end to all ongoing speculation, with fans reacting emotionally on social media. Both Smriti and Palash have urged everyone to respect their privacy during this personal and sensitive period.
