“Palash is very emotionally attached to his ‘uncle’. In fact, they are closer than Palash and Smriti. So, when he fell ill, Palash decided, even before Smriti, that the wedding should not take place until he fully recovers,” his mother told Hindustan Times.

“Before Smriti, Palash decided not to make us wander again until uncle starts coming,” she said.
“Ever since Haldi was done, we didn’t let him out. He cried so much that his health suddenly deteriorated. He had to stay in the hospital for 4 hours. They gave her an IV, did an EKG and other tests. All the reports came out normal, but the stress level is very high,” she added.
“Now we have Palash back in Mumbai. He is now feeling better and resting. But there is stress. His sister Palak has also left Sangli and is coming to him,” she further said.
Amita Muchhal’s comments come after Smriti Mandhana deleted all social media posts related to her upcoming wedding. On November 23, she was set to marry music composer Palaash Muchhala in a private ceremony in Sangli, Maharashtra. However, the wedding was postponed indefinitely after sudden health crises in the family.

On the morning of the ceremony, Smriti’s father became ill with heart attack-like symptoms during breakfast. He was taken to Sarvhit Hospital. A day later, on November 24, Palaash was also admitted to the hospital due to unexpected health problems.
Smriti’s father remains under observation and doctors have recommended continued hospital care. The family decided not to proceed with the wedding until both their health conditions improved. Smriti, who is extremely close to her father, agreed to call off the marriage for the time being.
She deleted all wedding-related Instagram posts, including engagement videos and viral proposals.
Conspiracy theories about Smriti Mandhana’s wedding
As Smriti Mandhana has not given any reasons for deleting all social media posts about her wedding, conspiracy theories are doing the rounds on social media.
Some say it was ‘Nazar’. Since she shared all the news about her wedding on social media, it brought her bad luck. Many are now suggesting that she should have kept her happy moments private and shared the photos later.
Palash is also rumored to be cheating on Smriti, though neither has confirmed anything. Screenshots shared on Reddit and Instagram claim to show Palash privately chatting with a woman named Mary D’Costa.

The alleged messages seemed flirtatious. He allegedly invited the same woman for a swim, a trip to the spa and even a morning walk on Versova Beach. It is mentioned in the chat that a long distance relationship ‘literally sucks’.
“We meet once every 3-5 months,” he says. “I used to go on her tour to cool off. But the last two years have been really hectic for me as well.”
There are also unverified claims that Palash was seen getting intimate with a woman during pre-wedding dance rehearsals. People are now debating whether these images are real or edited. Many uploaded videos were later deleted and nothing was verified by any credible source.
