Did Palash Muchhal cheat on fiancée Smriti Mandhana? Viral screenshot sparks buzz

Filmmaker and music composer Palash Muchhal has become the centre of a social-media storm after alleged screenshots of a private conversation between him and another woman went viral online. The controversy broke out just days after it was announced that his highly anticipated wedding with Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana had been postponed.

According to reports circulating widely on Reddit and Instagram, an unidentified woman claimed she had been in conversation with Palash.

She publicly released screenshots of what she alleged were flirtatious exchanges, triggering massive discussions across social platforms. These screenshots surfaced shortly after Palash’s sister, singer Palak Muchhal, confirmed that the wedding—previously planned for November 23 in Sangli in the presence of close friends and family—would no longer take place as scheduled.

Initially, the postponement was attributed to the reported hospitalisation of Smriti’s father. Subsequent unverified claims suggested that Palash himself had also been admitted to a hospital, adding further mystery to the unfolding situation.

The alleged screenshots shared by the woman, identified in some posts as Mary D’Costa, depict conversations in which Palash reportedly complimented her appearance and discussed his ‘long-distance’ dynamic with the cricketer.

The exchanges also show invitations for outings, including a spa visit, a swim, and even a spontaneous early morning trip to Versova beach in Mumbai. These interactions, if authentic, paint a picture of communication that many online users have interpreted as flirtatious.

According to BollywoodLife, the authenticity of the screenshots is not verified.

Despite the lack of confirmation, the material has fuelled widespread discussion, criticism, and speculation.

Social-media reactions have been sharply divided. While many users slammed Palash for the alleged behaviour, others urged restraint, emphasising that the family is already navigating a sensitive period and that unverified claims should not escalate into harassment.
