The wedding of India cricketer Smriti Mandhana and music composer Palash Muchhal has become a big topic online after the sudden postponement of the marriage. Rumours quickly began circulating that a delay was related to a woman named Mary D’Costa, especially when screenshots of flirtatious chats between her and Palash began to circulate around various social media. The screenshots, apparently shared by D’Costa across Reddit, surfaced everywhere in no time and created a wave of speculations.
Mary D’Costa Clears Her Name
As the rumors escalated, Mary D’Costa came forward to explain her side. She took to Instagram and posted a note saying the contact between her and Palash lasted only one month — from April 29 to May 30, 2025. She said she never met him in person and had no romantic link with him at any point.
She added that she had already revealed the matter in July, but people did not notice because they did not know who Palash was. She also clarified that her identity was being confused, with people calling her a choreographer or else telling her she was a woman involved in the cheating rumour. She clarified that none of these claims were right, and she just wanted to clear the misunderstanding.
Why the Wedding Was Postponed
The marriage was supposed to take place on November 23 in Sangli, Maharashtra. However, the wedding was postponed after Smriti Mandhana’s father fell severely ill and was admitted to hospital. It was then reported that Smriti had deleted all photos and posts related to her wedding from her Instagram page. Her close friends, including India teammate Jemimah Rodrigues, also deleted posts from the pre-wedding celebrations. These further fanned the online speculations.
