What began as a heartbreaking pause to Smriti Mandhana and Palaash Muchhal’s wedding due to back-to-back health emergencies has now taken a very different turn online. While both families requested privacy after Smriti’s father and later Palaash were hospitalised, social media is now flooded with a new wave of speculation after alleged screenshots — posted by a Reddit user — began circulating across platforms.
Health Scares Bring Celebrations to a Halt
Smriti’s father, Shriniwas Mandhana, was rushed to Sarvhit Hospital after showing heart-attack–like symptoms on the morning of the wedding. A day later, Palaash himself was admitted to a hospital in Sangli after reportedly suffering stress-related health issues. His mother later revealed he was put through a set of medical tests, given IV fluids, and discharged after four hours.
With both families emotionally overwhelmed, the wedding — originally scheduled for November 23 — was postponed indefinitely.
Smriti Deletes Wedding Posts, Internet Takes Notice
Soon after the announcement, fans noticed that Smriti quietly wiped her Instagram of every wedding-related photo and video — including the widely shared proposal clip and engagement announcement. Although no official explanation was given, the timing prompted a wave of speculation online.
Reddit Screenshots Add a New Twist — But Remain Unverified
Amid this uncertainty, an Instagram user named Mary D’Costa shared screenshots on Reddit, claiming they were conversations with Palaash from May 2025. The account she alleged belonged to him has since been deleted, but the screenshots continue to circulate.
The alleged messages show “Palaash” asking her to meet — including an invite to go swimming — while avoiding questions about his relationship status or whether he was in love. The authenticity of the screenshots has not been verified, but that hasn’t stopped them from dominating social media discussions.

Netizens Strongly Side With Smriti
Across Reddit and X, the reaction has been swift — and overwhelmingly in favour of Smriti Mandhana. Many users expressed disgust, scepticism, or sympathy, while others cautioned that only the couple knows the truth.
The tone across platforms is consistent: supporters believe Smriti may have unknowingly avoided a far bigger heartbreak.
Where Things Stand Between Smriti and Palaash
While Smriti has removed all traces of the wedding from her Instagram, Palaash still has his posts with her intact. Neither of them has issued a personal statement about the postponement or the viral screenshots.
So far, the only official communication has come from Palaash’s sister, Palak Muchhal, who posted:
“Due to Smriti’s dad’s health, Smriti and Palaash’s wedding has been put on hold. Would request all of you to respect the privacy of the families in this sensitive time.”
A Celebration That Has Hit an Unexpected Pause
The couple was set to marry on November 23, and several players from the Indian women’s cricket team had already arrived in Sangli for the pre-wedding festivities. But with sudden health scares — and now social media controversy layered on top — the wedding is paused with no new date in sight.
Final Words
What was meant to be a joyous union has quickly spiralled into a stressful and deeply public moment for both families. With unverified screenshots fueling speculation and zero official clarification from the couple, the only certainty right now is that emotions are running high. As fans continue to send prayers for Smriti’s father’s recovery, many hope the couple gets the space they need to navigate the situation away from the noise.
