Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal have addressed the rumours surrounding their postponed wedding. Both confirmed through their Instagram Stories that the wedding had been officially called off, and they are moving forward separately.
Adding to the unfolding events, Jemimah Rodrigues, a close friend of Smriti, shared an Instagram Story that quickly gained attention.

Jemimah also unfollowed Palash on Instagram, intensifying the ongoing discussion.

Following her message, Palash Muchhal issued his own statement. He mentioned his decision to move on, expressing his deep feelings about the online rumours concerning something he considered sacred. He described this as the most challenging period of his life and stated his intention to face it with grace.
Palash also appealed to people to consider the impact of unverified claims, highlighting the potential for words to cause harm. He announced that his team would be pursuing legal action against those spreading defamatory content and expressed gratitude to those who had offered support.
The wedding, initially scheduled for November 23, was postponed following the hospitalisation of Smriti’s father due to a heart condition.
