Personal turmoil

Muchhal and Mandhana's wedding was called off in December 2025 amid allegations of infidelity against the composer.

Although these claims were not confirmed, both families initially postponed the wedding before announcing its cancellation.

After the announcement, Muchhal deleted a proposal video featuring Mandhana from Instagram.

Since then, he has been maintaining a low profile.
