Palaash Muchhal has recently been in the news following allegations that he was unfaithful to Smriti Mandhana just one day before their planned wedding. The couple was scheduled to tie the knot on November 23, 2025, but the ceremony was postponed due to health concerns involving Smriti’s father, who reportedly suffered a heart attack after discovering the alleged infidelity.
Engagement with Briva Shah Called Off
Although no official confirmation has been provided, Palaash has reportedly been hospitalized, while Smriti’s father was released from the hospital on November 27, 2025. Amid these events, a photo of Palaash proposing to his ex-fiancée, Briva Shah, has gone viral. For those unfamiliar, Palaash was previously engaged to Briva Shah, and the image captured a moment where he was seen kneeling to propose to her. The resurfacing of their past relationship has drawn attention in light of the current controversy.
Palaash and Briva dated for several years during her time at Jai Hind College, forming a close bond through mutual friends. While details about their relationship remain limited, old photos of the couple have recently circulated on social media. Reports indicate that Palaash and Briva ended their engagement in 2019, after which he began dating Smriti Mandhana. The reasons behind their breakup have not been officially disclosed, but speculation has arisen regarding whether Palaash’s alleged infidelity with Smriti may have also impacted his past relationship with Briva.
Did Smriti Mandhana Unfollow Palaash Muchhal?
In light of the cheating allegations, rumors have circulated on social media suggesting that Smriti Mandhana’s brother and close friends unfollowed Palaash. Some reports also claimed that Smriti herself had unfollowed him. However, these claims have been debunked, as Smriti continues to follow Palaash on social media.
Palaash’s cousin has recently issued a statement on social media, expressing concern for his health and urging people not to judge him based on rumors. The cousin emphasized that Palaash is currently in a critical condition and requested prayers for his recovery. The statement read:
“Palaash is going through a critical condition today. You all should not judge Palaash as wrong without knowing the truth. Technology today has advanced much beyond humans, which is why people should not judge Palaash based on rumours. Pray for him.”
To provide context, Palaash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana began dating in 2019 after meeting through mutual friends. Their relationship, which blossomed over shared interests in cricket and music, remained private until it was made public in 2024. Palaash even got a tattoo reading ‘SM18’, symbolizing Smriti’s initials and jersey number. Recently, a woman named Mary D’Costa has come forward, alleging that she had seen Palaash engaging in flirtatious conversations with her, raising further questions about his fidelity just before the wedding.
As the situation develops, many are left wondering about the future of Palaash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana’s relationship.
