Smriti-Palash Wedding
Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal’s wedding, expected to be a high-profile celebration after India’s World Cup triumph, came to an abrupt halt following a health issue involving Mandhana’s father.
The situation quickly spiralled, with rumours and unverified accusations circulating online. Muchhal’s family dismissed the cheating allegations as baseless. Photos from the ceremony were soon removed, and the cricketer maintained silence until December 7, when she finally issued a brief statement addressing the matter.
