Smriti Mandhana and music composer Palash Muchhal‘s wedding… what went wrong?

The wedding that was supposed to be the fairy-tale finale of the year… the much-hyped union of cricket superstar Smriti Mandhana and music composer Palash Muchhal — has now become the biggest real-life cliffhanger India didn’t know it needed. TheGlitz reports…

One moment, the nation was swooning over Smriti’s dreamy engagement video, filmed on the cricket ground with teammates squealing like bridesmaids in a Yash Raj rom-com. In fact, the nation hailed fiancé Palash Muchchal as the biggest “green flag” around.

The next moment, the wedding was… poof… postponed indefinitely. And with that, social media turned into a live investigation.

When the Sangeet Sparkled and Everything Looked Perfect

Up until the evening before the wedding, everything was straight out of a blockbuster. Smriti’s teammates — fresh off their World Cup glory — arrived looking like full-fledged Bollywood heroines. The sangeet was a riot of colour, choreography, and celebration. There were twirls, thumkas, and perfectly synced reels. Not a cloud in sight. Except… something was brewing backstage that no one saw coming.

The Sudden Twist No One Was Ready For

Just when everyone thought the baraat would be trending the next morning, news broke out that an ambulance was seen and that Smriti’s father had reportedly shown symptoms of a cardiac condition and had to be rushed to the hospital.

Concern, chaos, and confusion spread instantly. Then came the statement that shook the shaadi-vibe to its core: Palak Muchhal, Palash’s singer sister, announced that the wedding would be “postponed indefinitely.”

Postponed indefinitely? On the eve of the ceremony? The nation gasped collectively.

And Then… The Internet Did What It Does Best

Within hours, social media detectives were deep at work. Screenshots… unverified, unconfirmed, but going viral at lightspeed, allegedly showed WhatsApp chats involving Palash and another woman. Was it real? Was it edited? No one knew. But the gossip machine didn’t care.
Rumours began swirling faster than a sangeet smoke machine:
“Was there trouble already?”
“Was someone having cold feet?”
“Was there a last-minute discovery?”
Theories multiplied, memes exploded, and the internet behaved exactly the way the internet always behaves, chaotically. Amid the whole scenario, Palash’s wedding proposal for ex Birva Shah is now going viral on social media.

The Vanishing Posts That Fuelled the Fire

What really sent hearts racing was digital delete. Smriti suddenly wiped her Instagram clean — no proposal video, no engagement photos, no mushy captions, nothing. Just… absence.
Palash, meanwhile, deleted everything except the proposal video. Whatever that meant, the internet decided it meant something.
Fans were now convinced the love story that began on a cricket pitch had hit a pitch-black phase.

More Twists: Another Hospitalisation Rumour

As if the plot needed more drama, whispers emerged that even Palash had been hospitalised. Was it stress? Was it shock? Was it something more dramatic? No one really knew — but speculation soared. Some people claimed he’d “run away,” others claimed he’d collapsed from tension. Some said Palash cheated on Smriti with a choreographer just before the wedding. In fact, headlines veered from ‘Did Palash get caught cheating by Smriti just a night before the wedding? Again, zero confirmation…

From Match of the Year to Mystery of the Year

After the women’s cricket team’s sensational World Cup win, all eyes were on Smriti — India’s poster girl of elegance, power, and poise. And with Palash proposing to her publicly on the cricket field, their love story became the romance the nation rooted for. Until that romance suddenly hit the brakes — loudly, publicly, spectacularly.

So What Really Happened?

Right now, no one outside the two families knows the truth. All we have are:

• A glamorous wedding that stopped without warning
• Deleted Instagram posts
• Rumours swirling like confetti
• Two families asking for privacy
• And a nation addicted to drama trying to fill in the blanks
  Whatever the truth is, one thing is clear: this is the most dramatic Indian wedding plotline since Bollywood discovered the slow-motion running shot.
