Smriti Mandhana Calls Off Wedding With Palash Muchhal

Earlier today, before Palash issued his statement, Smriti confirmed that the wedding had been called off and requested everyone to respect the privacy of both families and give them the space to process and move on at their own pace.

"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," wrote the cricketer.

Palash and Smriti were set to tie the knot on November 23, however, the wedding was postponed after the cricketer's father fell ill on the day of the ceremony. Shortly after, Palash himself was admitted to the hospital with viral symptoms and acidity issues.

Following the postponement, Palash's chats with a girl named Mary D'Costa went viral, where he was seen exchanging flirty texts despite being with Smriti, sparking cheating rumours.
