The controversy surrounding Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana and music composer Palaash Muchhal’s indefinitely postponed wedding has taken a spiritual turn. Just a week after the shocking news of their wedding being called off broke the internet, Palaash Muchhal has been spotted seeking blessings in Vrindavan. However, netizens are not buying it.
Palaash Muchhal Visits Premanand Maharaj’s Ashram In a picture that is currently trending on Reddit and Twitter, Palaash Muchhal was snapped at Premanand Ji Maharaj’s ashram (Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj Ashram) located on the Vrindavan Parikrama Marg.
In the viral snap, the music composer is seen sitting on the floor among other devotees. He is dressed in a white shirt and black jacket, attempting to keep a low profile with a face mask. Despite his attempt at anonymity, the internet was quick to identify him, leading to a fresh wave of backlash.
Netizens React
“Whitewashing” or Real Devotion? The internet has been ruthless. Instead of sympathy, Palaash’s visit to the holy city has invited brutal trolling. Many users on social media are accusing him of attempting to “whitewash” his image following the severe allegations leveled against him.

- Comments suggest that fans view this as a “PR strategy” rather than genuine repentance.
- The visit comes at a time when public sentiment is heavily swayed in favor of Smriti Mandhana.
The Cheating Allegations
What Went Wrong? The fairytale wedding came to a screeching halt following explosive rumors. Reports allege that Palaash cheated on Smriti Mandhana on the very night of their Sangeet ceremony. The allegations involve the couple’s wedding choreographer, a detail that has left fans shocked and furious. Following this incident, the wedding was indefinitely postponed.
Rumors of a December 7th Wedding Denied Earlier this week, Palaash made his first public appearance at the airport, accompanied by his family. Dressed in all black and sporting a grim expression—a sharp contrast to his smiling mother—Palaash avoided the paparazzi.
Shortly after the airport video went viral, rumors began circulating that the wedding had been rescheduled for December 7. However, these rumors were swiftly rubbished by Smriti Mandhana’s brother, confirming that the wedding remains off the table for now.
Conclusion
As the drama unfolds, all eyes are on Smriti Mandhana, who has maintained a dignified silence. Meanwhile, Palaash’s trip to Vrindavan seems to have fueled the fire rather than dousing it, with fans refusing to forgive the alleged betrayal of India’s favorite cricket star.
