Actor Nandish Sandhu Opens Up About Palash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana's Cancelled Wedding
The much-anticipated wedding of singer-composer Palash Muchhal and cricketer Smriti Mandhana, scheduled for November 23, 2025, was abruptly called off just a day before the ceremony. This unexpected turn of events has sparked widespread speculation and media attention, with various reports emerging about the reasons behind the cancellation.
Official Statement vs. Media Allegations
Initially, the families of Palash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana issued an official statement citing the ill health of Smriti's father as the reason for postponing the wedding. However, subsequent media reports accused Palash of allegedly cheating on Smriti, adding a layer of controversy to the situation. Actor Nandish Sandhu, who was present at the wedding venue in Sangli, has now shared his perspective on what transpired.
Nandish Sandhu's Account of the Events
In an interview with Miss Malini, Nandish Sandhu refrained from commenting directly on the infidelity accusations against Palash Muchhal. He emphasized, "It's better not to say anything on that right now. And let Palash speak from his side." Sandhu also claimed that no one had reached out to Palash to hear his version of the story, highlighting a potential gap in the narrative presented by the media.
Recalling the events in Sangli, Sandhu stated, "I'd gone for the wedding. That didn't happen. And I just got to know that it's not happening at the moment." He reiterated that the reason communicated to everyone at the venue was a medical emergency involving Smriti Mandhana's father. "It's postponed because what came out in the news, the same thing was there. Conveyed to you guys. Conveyed to everybody. Smriti's dad wasn't well. He was in the hospital. And that's why everything has been postponed," he explained.
Sandhu's Reaction to the Situation
Expressing his feelings about the unfolding events, Nandish Sandhu mentioned that he learned about the accusations against Palash Muchhal through media reports. "Later on, I got to know through the news and media that this is what has been printed and this is happening. And I feel bad about it," he said, indicating his sympathy for the couple amidst the turmoil.
Insights into the Couple's Relationship
Despite the wedding not taking place, Sandhu shed light on the deep bond shared by Palash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana. He revealed, "Whatever the reason might have been, the wedding didn't happen. And you know, I've seen the love. I've seen how madly they were in love for the last five, six years. They were such a cute, nice couple." This testimony underscores the long-standing and affectionate relationship between the two, which spanned over half a decade.
Previous Allegations and Controversies
Earlier, Vidnyan Mane, who claimed to be a childhood friend of Smriti Mandhana, made serious allegations against Palash Muchhal. He told Hindustan Times, "I was at the wedding celebrations (November, 23, 2025) when he was caught red-handed with another woman in bed. Bhayanak scene tha, he was beaten up by the Indian female cricketers. The entire family is chindi chor. I thought he'd get married and settle in Sangli, but it has completely backfired on me." These claims have added fuel to the fire, contrasting sharply with the official family statement and Sandhu's account.
As the story continues to develop, the public remains eager for clarity on the true reasons behind the cancelled wedding and the future of Palash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana's relationship.
