Postponed wedding, leaked chats & a mystery woman, here’s everything causing a storm around the filmmaker-composer
The internet is once again proving that nothing stays private for long — especially when a celebrity wedding is involved. Filmmaker and music composer Palash Muchhal, who was all set to marry Indian cricket superstar Smriti Mandhana in an intimate ceremony, has suddenly found himself at the centre of a massive controversy.
And no, it’s not because of the wedding being postponed. It’s because of what happened after that announcement — alleged leaked chats, a mystery woman, unverified claims, and a social-media wildfire that refuses to die down.

A Wedding Postponed, A Storm Unleashed
Just days ago, the news that Palash and Smriti’s much-awaited November 23 wedding in Sangli had been put on hold had fans genuinely concerned. The reason cited publicly was the hospitalisation of Smriti’s father, followed by reports that Palash himself had also been admitted to a hospital, adding to the aura of uncertainty.
Palash’s sister, singer Palak Muchhal, even confirmed the postponement. And just when everyone was praying for the families’ well-being, the internet dropped another bomb.
The Mysterious Woman Steps Forward
The controversy erupted when alleged screenshots of personal conversations between Palash and another woman went viral on Reddit, Instagram, and multiple social platforms.
The woman — identified by some posts as Mary D’Costa — claimed she had been in private chat exchanges with Palash.
Then she did what social media does best:
She posted screenshots. Publicly.
Within minutes, hashtags started catching fire. People wanted answers, receipts, and drama — and the screenshots delivered plenty.

What the Leaked Chats Show (If They’re Real)
The alleged chats paint a picture that many online users have interpreted as flirtatious, inappropriate, or at the very least, oddly intimate. Among the alleged exchanges:
- Palash reportedly complimenting the woman’s looks.
- Conversations suggesting he described his “long-distance” situation with Smriti Mandhana.
- Casual but suggestive invitations — including
- A spa outing,
- A swim,
- And even a spontaneous early-morning Versova beach trip.
If authentic, these messages imply that Palash may have been keeping in touch with someone else while preparing for his wedding.
But — and this is crucial — the screenshots are not verified.
Even BollywoodLife and other platforms reporting on the viral storm have clarified that the authenticity remains unconfirmed.
Internet Divided: Outrage vs. Caution
As expected, the social-media reaction has been explosive.
Camp 1: “This is cheating!”
Many users instantly jumped to conclusions, accusing Palash of two-timing one of the most loved cricketers in India. Some even claimed this controversy might be the real reason behind the wedding postponement.
Several posts demanded a statement from Smriti Mandhana herself — something that absolutely has not happened yet.
Camp 2: “Stop attacking him without proof.”
A sizeable section of fans and observers urged patience and restraint.
Their point:
- The screenshots are unverified.
- The families are reportedly going through a tough time.
- Social media should not act as judge, jury, and executioner.
Some also pointed out how easy it is to fabricate chat screenshots in 2025 — a concern that’s becoming increasingly real in the age of AI-driven misinformation.

Palash Muchhal’s Silence Adds to the Mystery
As of now, Palash Muchhal has not issued any statement or clarification about the viral screenshots. His social-media accounts remain quiet — and that silence is only fuelling more speculation.
Since the postponement of the wedding was already newsworthy, the silence is being interpreted in multiple ways:
- Is he choosing dignity over explanation?
- Is he waiting for the family to stabilise?
- Or is there a bigger truth waiting to come out?
Until an official word arrives, every rumour is being treated as a possibility by the internet’s gossip factories.
What About Smriti Mandhana?
The Indian cricket star has stayed completely away from the noise.
No posts.
No hints.
No reactions.
Given her dignified public persona, it’s unlikely she will indulge in a social-media back-and-forth.
Fans, however, are emotionally invested — especially after a video of Smriti from a recent cricket camp surfaced, where she appeared quiet and slightly withdrawn. Many believe she may be going through a difficult time personally, though there is no confirmation of this either.
A Perfect Recipe for a Social-Media Meltdown
When you combine:
- A celebrity wedding,
- A postponed date,
- A mystery woman,
- A viral scandal,
- Unverified screenshots,
- And an internet obsessed with drama…
…you get exactly what’s happening: a full-blown entertainment firestorm.
Every hour, new posts, theories, and edits are cropping up. Some claim the screenshots look “too polished,” while others insist Palash’s chat style matches his earlier public interactions.
And in the middle of all this?
Two families who likely never wanted their private matters dissected by millions of strangers on the internet.
Until Then, The Speculation Won’t Stop
Whether the screenshots are real or fake, whether the woman’s claims hold water or not — the story is dominating online conversations. The More the silence continues from Palash and Smriti’s side, the louder the public theories become.
For now, all eyes remain on:
- Palash’s next move
- Smriti’s silence
And whether the families address the issue publicly
