The wedding of Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal got cancelled after infidelity allegations. The star-studded affair turned bleak on the day of the wedding. First, it was reported that Smriti's father

had a health issue, but the truth has unraveled in recent times, which indicates a tale of cheating by Palash on the India women's star.

In a bombshell that has rocked Indian women's cricket, star batter Smriti Mandhana's fairy-tale wedding to singer Palaash Muchhal has imploded amid lurid allegations of infidelity, family deceit, and a brutal bedroom bust-up.

The drama unfolded like a Bollywood thriller, with actor-producer Vidnyan Mane - Mandhana's own childhood friend spilling explosive details of Muchhal being "caught red-handed with another woman in bed" during pre-wedding festivities, leading to a savage beating by furious Indian cricketers.

The wedding, originally set for November 23, 2025, was first postponed amid mysterious "health emergencies" in both families before being dramatically called off in December. Now, Mane has filed a formal complaint in Sangli, Maharashtra, accusing Muchhal and his family of cheating him out of over Rs 40 lakh tied to an unreleased film project.

But the real jaw-dropper? A chaotic scene at the wedding celebrations that Mane described in a riveting Hindustan Times interview.

"I was at the wedding celebrations (November 23, 2025) when he was caught red-handed with another woman in bed. Bhayanak scene tha, he was beaten up by the Indian female cricketers. The entire family is chindi chor. I thought he'd get married and settle in Sangli, but it has completely backfired on me," Mane said.

Mane, 34, claims he was introduced to Muchhal through Mandhana's family and alleges a web of financial coercion followed.

"When I met his mother (Amita Muchhal) last month, she said the budget to release the movie has now increased to Rs 1.5 crore. They asked me to invest another Rs 10 lakh or I wouldn't get any money back.. They started blackmailing me and threatened to throw me out of the film, thus I was forced to file a complaint," he added.

"After the wedding was called off, the family blocked me from everywhere. I found out that other artistes from the movie had not received payment they were due to receive either. I had heard of directors fleecing producers in the film industry but this is complete theft," Mane fumed.

He insists he's armed with ironclad proof: "I have saved all proofs including my chats and phone conversations, that I'm willing to share with the police and the media. "

Muchhal fired back swiftly via an Instagram story, dismissing the chaos as a vicious smear campaign. He also ensured a legal procedure which may head to Mane soon.

"In light of the allegations made by Sangli-based Vidnyan Mane on social media, I wish to state that these claims against me are entirely baseless and factually incorrect.. They have been made with malicious intent to tarnish my reputation, and they will not go unchallenged. My lawyer, Shreyansh Mithare, is exploring all legal avenues, and this matter will be dealt with strictly through the appropriate legal channels. "
