Who is Palash Muchhal's ex-girlfriend, Birva Shah, he proposed to before Smriti Mandhana?

Photos from Palash’s elaborate proposal to Birva have now gone viral, turning what was once a private moment into a renewed point of curiosity.

Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal’s postponed wedding has become the centre of widespread speculation, especially after rumours about Palash allegedly cheating began circulating across social media. What initially appeared to be a straightforward delay due to a family medical emergency soon spiralled into online chatter, theories, and resurfaced past relationships.

The couple had announced the postponement of their wedding citing a sudden health scare involving Smriti’s father, Shrinivas Mandhana. According to a report by India TV, he was discharged from Sarvhit Hospital on the morning of November 25. While his condition has shown significant improvement, the families have decided to keep the wedding on hold for now.

However, even as the focus remained on Shrinivas Mandhana’s recovery, the internet quickly shifted its attention elsewhere. Amid the chaos, Palash’s past relationship unexpectedly resurfaced, as fans began digging into his earlier romantic history.

It soon came to light that his proposal to Smriti was not the first time he had planned a grand gesture. As per One India, the music composer had once proposed to his former girlfriend, Birva Shah, with whom he shared a long-term relationship.

Who is Birva Shah?

Photos from Palash’s elaborate proposal to Birva have now gone viral, turning what was once a private moment into a renewed point of curiosity. Back in 2017, Palash Muchhal became a talking point when he went down on one knee to propose to Birva Shah. Reports suggest he was deeply committed to her and even envisioned a future together, which led him to plan a fairytale-style proposal.

According to SportsDunia, the pair met in Mumbai through mutual friends. At the time, Birva was a student at Jai Hind College. That same year, Palash shared a picture on Facebook capturing the moment: Birva standing gracefully in a white asymmetrical gown, while Palash, dressed in a tuxedo, knelt before her amid balloons, candles, and rose petals — a scene straight out of a romantic film. Despite the attention this memory is receiving now, little is known about Birva’s current life or whereabouts.

Fresh Allegations and Online Debate

Palash is already under scrutiny when his past comes to light. Social media was inundated with claims that Palash's alleged adultery, rather than just Smriti's father's health, was the reason behind the sudden postponement of the wedding on November 23. When users discovered that Smriti had deleted multiple images of Palash from her Instagram profile, the rumours grew more intense.

Screenshots allegedly depicting Palash's conversations with another woman started making the rounds on the internet shortly after. Palash had also discussed the difficulties of sustaining a long-distance relationship with Smriti in these conversations, which seemed to indicate flirtatious exchanges. Netizens took sides and engaged in heated debate on social media as a result of the messages, which fuelled an already raging fire.

However, it is important to note that none of the alleged screenshots have been verified. As reported by multiple outlets, including Bollywood Bubble, the authenticity of these chats remains unconfirmed, and no official statement has been issued by either party addressing these claims.

For now, all eyes remain on Smriti and Palash as they navigate both personal challenges and public scrutiny, while fans await clarity on the future of their relationship.
