The wedding, which was due to take place on November 23, 2025, was officially postponed following a heart-related health scare involving Smriti Mandhana’s father. However, the situation was quickly overshadowed by social media speculation after Mandhana deleted all pre-wedding posts from her Instagram account.
The Viral Chats and Mary D'Costa's Clarification
The speculation intensified when screenshots of alleged "flirty chats" between Palash Muchhal and a woman, later identified as Mary D'Costa, began circulating widely online, having been reportedly first shared by D'Costa on Reddit. This led to online users suggesting that D'Costa was the reason for the wedding's delay.See the screen shots of the Flirty Chats here >>
Addressing Identity Confusion: D'Costa directly refuted a key rumour by stating, "I want to clarify, I am not the choreographer, and I am not the person he cheated with." She noted that she was making the statement to correct false assumptions and prevent people from jumping to wrong conclusions about her identity and involvement.
Reason for Late Statement: When asked about the timing, she explained that she had actually exposed the chats back in July 2025, but the matter "went unnoticed" at the time because Palash Muchhal was not widely known to the public. The chats only gained traction when the wedding postponement controversy erupted in November.

Wedding Postponement: The official reason given for the delay was the hospitalisation of Smriti Mandhana's father due to a health issue.

Groom's Health: Palash Muchhal was also reportedly admitted to a hospital in Mumbai shortly after, citing exhaustion and stress.
While the families have maintained that the postponement is due to a medical emergency, the circulating chats and Mary D'Costa’s subsequent clarification have kept the matter in the public eye, highlighting the power of social media to amplify unverified claims.
