Why the Smriti Mandhana wedding was called off
The pair were set to marry on 23 November in Sangli after days of pre‑wedding events. Both families had been seen celebrating together. On the morning of the wedding, things turned suddenly. Mandhana’s father fell ill and was taken to hospital. A day later, Palaash was also admitted in Sangli before being shifted to Mumbai for further checks.
As both families returned to Mumbai, online speculation rose. Screenshots and claims spread fast, many without proof. The talk grew louder when Smriti removed all wedding and engagement posts. Her teammates did the same with their pre‑wedding photos.
This week, she decided to put out a clear line. In her note, she said it was important to speak up, confirmed “the wedding is called off”, and asked for privacy. Her focus, she said, remains on playing for India.

How Palaash Muchhal reacted on social media
Soon after Smriti’s post, Palaash made a public statement of his own. He said he had “decided to move on” and spoke about how tough the last few weeks had been.
Within hours, fans noticed that the viral proposal video had disappeared from his page. The World Cup victory celebration clip featuring Smriti was also gone. A few older posts with her still remain, although many followers pointed out that both had unfollowed each other.
These changes added to the already restless online conversations. But Palaash asked people to pause before judging. He called the rumours hurtful and said he would deal with the situation quietly.
What Smriti Mandhana said
Mandhana’s statement was brief. She said she is a private person, wished to keep things that way, and wanted the matter to end here. She spoke about representing India being her purpose, and that her aim is to keep winning for the country.
Her next assignment is the five‑match T20I series against Sri Lanka at home, starting 21 December. She then leads Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 2026 WPL from 9 January.
Moving forward
Both have asked for space. Neither plans to add further comment. The posts are out, the videos are gone, and the story now rests on their words, and their work ahead.
