Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal Split: Wedding Cancelled, Instagram Unfollow Sparks Huge Buzz

Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal’s relationship has been in the spotlight for weeks, and now the situation is finally clear. What began as a postponed wedding, originally planned for November 23 in Sangli, has ended in a confirmed split. The delay was first attributed to two separate health emergencies: Mandhana’s father fell ill, and Muchhal was reportedly hospitalised around the same time.

Over the weekend, both made it known they were walking away from the relationship. Soon after, social media noticed they had unfollowed each other on Instagram, which more or less sealed what fans had been guessing for days.

Instagram Declaration That Said More Than Statements

People tracking the situation spotted a series of quiet but telling changes. Mandhana removed every trace of their engagement and the once-viral proposal video. Muchhal, on the other hand, still has the proposal video on his profile but publicly stated today that he is “moving on.”

And then came the biggest sign of all: they no longer follow each other online. The digital distance made their decision unmistakably clear.

What They Said Publicly

Mandhana requested time, privacy and space to refocus on cricket and her personal life. She didn’t get into details, but the tone said enough that she wants to move forward without the noise.

Muchhal took a more direct route, calling out the flood of rumours surrounding the breakup. He described many of them as fabricated and hurtful, even hinting at legal action against those who spread false stories. He admitted this has been one of the toughest phases he’s faced.

What Triggered  Things to Falls Apart

The original postponement had nothing to do with drama, it stemmed from family medical crises. But once rumours of infidelity started circulating online, everything escalated. One accusation in particular, involving a choreographer, gained traction. Muchhal’s family dismissed all of it, but the gossip refused to slow down.

Caught between public speculation and their own personal challenges, the two eventually chose to step away from the relationship entirely.

Where Things Stand Now

Both seem determined to reset their lives. Mandhana is shifting her focus back to cricket, while Muchhal is trying to steady himself after weeks of intense scrutiny.

The entire episode also shows how quickly a private relationship can turn into a public spectacle, especially when two public figures are involved. Only they know what really happened, and for now, they’re choosing to close the chapter quietly.
