The bombshell dropped right after those viral leaked chats hit Reddit and X like a storm. It started with screenshots of Palash allegedly flirting hard with a woman named Mary D’Costa – yeah, the wedding choreographer – where he’s inviting her for swims and spa days, talking long-distance vibes like he’s single. Smriti caught wind during their date two days before the November 23 ceremony, when a friend tipped her off about Palash getting cozy with Mary during rehearsal breaks. “He was all over her, right after our coffee meet-up,” Smriti said in the Live, her voice cracking but fierce. Basically, what was meant to be a chill pre-wedding hangout turned into her spotting texts popping up on his phone – flirty emojis, late-night plans, the works. She confronted him on the spot, but he brushed it off as “nothing serious,” which just lit the fuse. By wedding morning, with her dad Shrinivas rushing to the hospital for angina pains, Smriti had enough – postponed the shaadi and blocked him everywhere.
Palash’s side? Total denial mode, but it’s not helping his case. His sister Palak Muchhal jumped on Insta Stories first, begging for privacy and calling the rumors “baseless attacks,” but then Mary herself posted those chat grabs, denying she’s the choreographer and saying Palash slid into her DMs months back. Wait, plot twist – another Reddit thread claims it was actually Nandika Dwivedi, a different dance pro, and that Smriti’s teammate Shreyanka Patil walked in on them kissing during a late-night practice four days before the engagement. Palash’s mom Amita told Hindustan Times he was “stressed and crying” post-hospital, super attached to Smriti’s dad like a son, but insiders whisper he bolted to Mumbai the next day anyway. “If it’s true, he’s a scumbag,” one fan commented under Smriti’s Live clip, and yeah, the backlash is real – boycotts on his music, old proposal pics with ex Birva Shah resurfacing with cheat vibes. Palash warned of “legal action against character assassination” in a vague tweet, but to be honest, those screenshots look damning, proper shock for a guy who proposed so publicly after her World Cup win.
Smriti’s Live was pure fire – no tears, just straight talk that had 500k viewers tuning in live. She scrubbed all wedding glow from her feed: proposal video gone, engagement snaps vanished, even teammates like Jemimah Rodrigues and Shreyanka pulled theirs too. “Girls, trust your gut on that date – if he’s hiding his phone or dodging questions, run,” she advised, adding how Palash’s “cheater energy” showed up in little lies during their July 2024 reveal. You know, they met through mutual music-cricket circles, went official with that dreamy beach proposal, but now she’s painting him as the villain who couldn’t keep it in his pants right before pheras. Fans are rallying hard – “Queen dodged a bullet,” trending on X with over 200k mentions, prayers mixing with memes of Palash as a clown. Even Bollywood’s buzzing; whispers say producers are rethinking his film gigs amid the scandal.
As of December 8, 2025, no wedding’s back on – Smriti’s focusing on recovery vibes for her dad, who’s stable post-tests, and Palash is laying low in Mumbai after his own hospital stint for stress. The families are radio silent, but Smriti’s message is loud: “I said yes to love, not lies – and I’m walking away stronger.” Point is, this ain’t just gossip; it’s a wake-up on red flags before the knot. From flirty DMs to caught-in-the-act claims, Palash’s rep’s in tatters, while Smriti’s emerging as the boss babe who chose self-respect. Hang tight, cricket fam – her bat’s still swinging, and this chapter? Closed for good. Who’s got her back in the comments?
