Palash Muchhal's wedding with Smriti Mandhana called off

Palash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana were set to marry on November 23, 2025, in Sangli, Maharashtra. However, on the wedding day, Smriti Mandhana's father, Srinivas Mandhana, was admitted to the hospital due to a health issue. In the follow-up, reports surfaced that Palash had also been rushed to the hospital for viral symptoms. It was then reported that the wedding had been postponed. However, on December 7, the couple officially announced that their wedding had been called off.

Following that, Palash broke the silence on the matter and in an interview with Filmfare, weighed in on the sequence of events, but did not reveal the reason why the wedding was cancelled.

He stated: "I think the families have been through a very, very tough time, and I would just want to repeat that we would like to believe in positivity in this time and spread positivity as much as we can. And stay strong... yeah."

Palash Muchhal has remained lowkey since his wedding called off. He was once spotted at an airport. The composer also visited Premanand Maharaj in Vrindavan.
