Palash Muchhal’s First Public Appearance Amid Speculation

New Delhi, December 1, 2025: A video capturing music composer Palash Muchhal, the fiancé of cricketer Smriti Mandhana, making his first public appearance since their wedding was unexpectedly postponed has gone viral. The sighting, which took place at the Mumbai airport, comes amid a wave of intense online speculation and rumors surrounding the couple’s relationship and the health emergencies that led to the delay of their scheduled November 23 nuptials.

Airport Appearance Is Noted

The video clip, widely circulated on Monday, showed Palash Muchhal exiting the Mumbai airport terminal. He was accompanied by his mother, Amita Muchhal, and other family members, and was observed maintaining a low-profile yet composed demeanor. Dressed in an all-black ensemble, the composer was seen holding a book as he made his way out of the terminal.

It was noted that while Muchhal did not engage with the large presence of paparazzi, he also made no visible effort to evade the cameras, acknowledging their greetings with a simple nod. This was his first outing since the wedding was postponed and he himself was briefly hospitalized due to health issues linked to stress and a viral infection.

Health Scares Caused the Delay

The wedding between Smriti Mandhana, the vice-captain of the Indian women’s cricket team, and Palash Muchhal was indefinitely postponed after a medical emergency involving Smriti’s father, Shrinivas Mandhana, who reportedly suffered a heart-related health scare on the day of the planned ceremony.

Adding to the distress, Palash Muchhal was also admitted to a hospital shortly thereafter, reportedly due to stress and acidity issues that required medical attention. While both families have confirmed that the postponement is strictly due to health concerns, the unexpected delay has fueled widespread, unverified rumors on social media regarding the status of the relationship. Smriti Mandhana’s subsequent deletion of all pre-wedding and engagement posts from her Instagram account further intensified the public curiosity.

Family Calls for Privacy

Despite the public scrutiny and intense speculation, both Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal have remained silent, opting not to issue any personal statement regarding the delay or the online rumors. The family, including Palash’s mother, has publicly reassured well-wishers that the wedding has not been called off and will take place soon, once the health issues are fully resolved.

The viral video of the airport sighting serves as the first public assurance of Palash Muchhal’s improved health and his continued focus on family and recovery amid the difficult period.
