Who is the choreographer who Palash Muchhal alledly cheated with?

Fans and followers are shocked by the abrupt postponement of Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana and musician Palash Muchhal's wedding on November 23, 2025, and online discussions have swiftly moved past the health concern that prompted the postponement.

Although Palash's hospitalisation and Smriti's father's cardiac emergency were the official causes, rumours of an enigmatic person purportedly connected to the couple quickly surfaced on social media.

A name that has gone viral is Mary D’Costa, As per Filmibeat, she is reportedly a choreographer who might have been in charge of wedding performances. Though she keeps a low profile, her name surfaced after screenshots of alleged messages from Palash circulated online.

In these purported chats, he reportedly described his relationship with Smriti as “almost dead” and “long-distance,” while Mary pressed him about the upcoming wedding.

Whether or not these statements were accurate, they immediately generated interest and conjecture on the internet.

Rumours suggested that someone from Smriti’s family may have stumbled upon the alleged exchanges during the pre-wedding festivities.

Some posts even speculated that her father's unexpected medical emergency may have been caused by the stress of these discoveries. However, none of these claims have been verified, and the original Reddit thread sharing the screenshots has since been deleted.

Both families have, so far, kept their focus on the medical issues that prompted the postponement. Smriti’s father was rushed to hospital after a heart-related incident, and shortly afterward, Palash himself was admitted to a Mumbai hospital, prompting his family to return home from Sangli.

Fans are intrigued by the purported scandal and worried for the families because neither Smriti nor Palash have publicly addressed the rumours involving Mary D'Costa.

Social media is still buzzing with unanswered questions as supporters and interested bystanders wait to learn the truth about what actually transpired behind the scenes of the postponed wedding.
