The internet is now flooded with posts, threads, and screenshots that claim to show Palash involved in a “chat scandal” with a woman named Mary D’Costa.
The excitement around Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal’s wedding has flipped into a storm of controversy. What began as a dreamy celebration has now turned into one of the most talked-about internet sagas of the week. The couple’s families initially said the wedding was postponed due to a sudden medical emergency. But the situation changed overnight as social media erupted with allegations that Palash Muchhal may have cheated on Smriti just a day before the wedding.
The internet is now flooded with posts, threads, and screenshots that claim to show Palash involved in a “chat scandal” with a woman named Mary D’Costa. Though the families have confirmed none of these allegations, the rumours have taken over social platforms and pushed the story into viral territory.
The alleged chat scandal centres around a woman named Mary D’Costa, known online only by her Instagram username @marydcost_. There is no verified information about who she is. But screenshots shared on social media claim she was speaking privately with Palash Muchhal.
According to the viral posts, Palash was supposedly sending her flirty texts. He allegedly asked her to meet him for a swim. In those chats, he reportedly opened up about his “long-distance” relationship with Smriti and about leaving for cricket “tours” with her.
In one exchange, the woman asked Palash whether he loved Smriti. He reportedly did not answer.
Again, there is no official confirmation that these chats are real or recent. But the screenshots fueled the internet like wildfire, especially after Smriti wiped her social media clean.
The wedding was called off after Smriti’s father fell critically ill and required urgent treatment. Family members requested privacy, and many fans wished for a quick recovery. However, things escalated when users noticed that Smriti suddenly deleted every single wedding-related post from her Instagram. Her proposal videos, her mehendi clips, her pre-wedding moments — everything vanished.
For many fans, this was the moment the story changed direction. Countless posts began questioning whether the health issue was the only reason for the postponement.
One user wrote, “This is not something you delete unless something big has happened.” Another commented, “She deserves peace, not this heartbreak.”
Several anonymous online forums are pushing a sensational timeline of what may have happened before the wedding was halted. According to these discussions:
Many users are now interpreting Smriti’s deletion of posts as the reaction of a heartbroken bride rather than someone simply pausing celebrations due to a medical emergency.
Even Palash’s brief hospitalization is being dismissed by some critics as a convenient escape from the spotlight.
More fuel was added when fans noticed subtle signs on social media. One of Smriti’s closest friends, and a Maharashtrian cricketer, Shivali Shinde, unfollowed Palash on Instagram.
Teammate Shreyanka Patil deleted one highlight from her profile.
Neither of them has commented publicly, but online users have quickly linked these actions to the rumoured fallout.
Despite the swirling rumours, the official statement remains unchanged. The families insist that the wedding was postponed because of a medical emergency involving Smriti’s father. They have asked the public and media for sensitivity in the middle of a difficult time.
The final note from the family reads, “Due to Smriti’s father's health, Smriti and Palash’s wedding has been put on hold. We would request all of you to respect the privacy of the families during this sensitive time.”
Right now, the truth is unclear. What is confirmed is that the wedding is postponed, both families are dealing with a health crisis, and social media has exploded with allegations that remain unverified. The internet may continue to spin theories, but unless Smriti or Palash speaks, the real story remains behind closed doors.
