Palaash’s post read, “I have decided to move on in my life and step back from my personal relationship.

It’s the most difficult phase of my life, and I will deal with it gracefully, holding on to my beliefs.”

He further added, “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.”

Palaash also mentioned in his post that his team is taking strict action against people who created a false narrative against him.

Did Palaash Muchhal Cheat on Smriti Mandhana?

Palaash and Smriti were supposed to get married on November 23, 2025. However, on the day of the wedding, it was revealed that the cricketer’s father was rushed to the hospital after experiencing cardiac arrest–type symptoms.

Following this, speculations started circulating on the internet that the real reason behind putting the wedding on hold was not Smriti’s father’s health but Palaash’s infidelity.

A Reddit user claimed that Palaash cheated on Smriti with their dance choreographer. Later, the name of the choreographer also emerged, and she was identified as Nandika Dwivedi.

While the rumours spread rapidly, Nandika broke her silence, stating that she has nothing to do with Palaash or with ruining his wedding with Smriti. Dwivedi also revealed that she has been receiving death threats following the incident.

Meanwhile, nothing of the sort has been confirmed, and no official information regarding Palaash cheating has emerged.
