Singer Palash Muchhal and cricketer Smriti Mandhana have officially called off their wedding, and the latest development confirming their separation is that the two have unfollowed each other on Instagram. The couple were set to tie the knot on November 23, which was postponed after a series of health emergencies involving Smriti's father and Palash himself. 

What Happened Before the Wedding? 

The wedding ceremony between the celebrity couple saw a dramatic turn of events. Smriti's father, Shrinivas Mandhana, was hospitalised in Sangli after developing heart-attack-like symptoms. This prompted the couple to put the celebrations on hold. 

A day later, Palash was also admitted to the hospital. Despite the family's attempts to maintain privacy, rumours soon circulated online. Reports alleged that Palash had cheated on Smriti with a choreographer. Later, the singer dismissed those rumours as baseless.

Smriti Confirms Cancellation of Wedding 

Smriti posted on social media that “Over the past few weeks, there has been plenty of speculation around my life, and I feel it is important for me to speak out at this time. I am a very private person, and I would like to keep it that way, but I need to clarify that the wedding is called off.”

She continued, "I believe there is a higher purpose driving us all, and for m,e that has always been representing my country at the highest level. I hope to continue to play and win trophies for India for as long as possible, and that is where my focus will forever be. Thank you for all your support. It's time to move forward.”

Statements From Palash

Palash took to Instagram Stories and shared an emotional note, "I have decided to move on in my life and step back from my personal relationship." He addressed the intense scrutiny surrounding him, adding, "It's been very difficult for me to see people react so easily on baseless rumours about something which has been most sacred to me. It's the most difficult phase of my life, and I will deal with it gracefully, holding on to my beliefs. I truly hope we, as a society, learn to pause before judging someone based on unverified gossip, whose sources are never identified. Our words can wound in ways we may never understand.”
