Rumors Cloud Smriti Mandhana’s Postponed Wedding Despite Family’s Clarification

The postponement of the marriage of Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana with music composer Palash Muchhal has set off a spate of rumors on social media. The wedding, scheduled for November 23rd, was postponed indefinitely as the father of Smriti became seriously ill all of a sudden. Though the family has categorically denied any misunderstanding, dispute, or involvement of any third party, the ongoing discussions on the internet remain unabated.

Soon after the wedding was postponed, some anonymous accounts started claiming on social media that there could be some other reason behind it. Meanwhile, a woman named Mary D'Costa shared some screenshots of chats that were being linked to Palash. It was being said that Mary was the choreographer with whom Palash was communicating before their engagement. These screenshots allegedly showed flirtatious conversations, leading to accusations that Palash had cheated on Smriti. However, these claims were never officially verified.

Now, social media is claiming that the choreographer with whom Palash was being linked is not Mary, but Nandika Dwivedi. Posts suddenly circulating on social media claim that Nandika may be linked to Palash. A photo of the two, apparently from Palash and Smriti's sangeet, is also rapidly circulating on social media. Nandika is a professional dancer and choreographer who works in Mumbai and has performed with many big names. She was also the lead performer in the music video "Tere Peeche." According to reports, she holds a B.Com from Delhi University and an MBA from IMT Ghaziabad. On Instagram, she describes herself as a personal instructor and choreographer.

It's worth noting, however, that all the rumors linking Nandika and Palash are merely social media buzz. There has been no official statement, nor has any reliable source confirmed these claims. Nandika has also not yet commented on the matter. The rumors are based solely on anonymous posts and online speculation, which have no concrete basis in reality.

Meanwhile, Smriti Mandhana's close friend and Indian cricketer Jemimah Rodrigues has decided to withdraw from the remaining matches of the Australian Big Bash League (WBBL) season. Jemimah was originally scheduled to return to India to attend Smriti's wedding and then return to Australia. However, with the wedding postponed, she has decided to withdraw from the entire season to be with Smriti.
