Smriti Mandhana’s Wedding on Hold: Palaash Muchhal’s Ex-Girlfriend Proposal Pic Goes Viral

0

Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana and singer Palaash Muchhal’s wedding, originally scheduled for November 23, was indefinitely postponed just hours before the ceremony. Both families stated that the decision was prompted by a sudden health emergency involving Smriti’s father, Shrinivas Mandhana, who reportedly developed heart attack-like symptoms on the morning of the wedding. He was rushed to the Sarvhit Hospital and Medical Research Centre in Sangli, where doctors conducted an ECG and several other tests. While results were normal, family members said the situation required immediate attention, halting all ongoing wedding preparations.

The unexpected postponement led to an outpouring of concern—but also widespread speculation—on social media. Amid the frenzy, old photographs of Palaash Muchhal with a former girlfriend resurfaced online and quickly went viral. One widely circulated image appears to show a proposal setup with Palaash kneeling before his then-partner. Several users have identified the woman as Birva Shah, a plastic surgeon, and claim the picture dates back to 2017. Others have attempted to link the resurfaced images to the current situation.

However, none of these claims have been verified, and the authenticity or context of the photographs remains unclear. Multiple outlets, including the source of the original report, have emphasized that there is no confirmation that the images have any connection to the present circumstances.

According to online chatter, Palaash and Smriti are believed to have begun dating in 2019, after being introduced through mutual friends, and publicly acknowledged their relationship only last year. Following the postponement, fans also noticed that Smriti had deleted her engagement announcement video from Instagram. The viral reel—featuring teammates Jemimah Rodrigues, Shreyanka Patil, Radha Yadav, and Arundhati Reddy—had ended with a subtle reveal of Smriti’s engagement ring. Social media users now allege that her teammates have also removed the video from their profiles, though this too remains unconfirmed.

The combination of the deleted posts and resurfaced photographs has intensified speculation online. One user wrote on X, “This is not something you delete unless something big has happened,” while another commented, “She deserves peace, not this heartbreak.”

Neither Smriti Mandhana nor Palaash Muchhal has addressed the rumours. Meanwhile, Palaash’s mother told the Hindustan Times that the emotional stress of the medical emergency affected him deeply, resulting in a temporary health scare of his own. She added that he had grown extremely close to Smriti’s father, making it difficult for him to continue with the rituals under such distress.

Indian cricketer Deepak Chahar’s sister, Malti Chahar, is currently participating in Bigg Boss 19, and with the show just two weeks ahead of its grand finale, she has got a massive wave of support from the cricket fraternity. A number of well-known Indian cricketers have taken to social media to rally behind her, asking fans to vote and help her enter the finale week.

Players like Suresh Raina, Tilak Varma, Arshdeep Singh, Shivam Dube, Yuzvendra Chahal, Avesh Khan, Naman Dhir, Venkatesh Iyer, Umran Malik, Deepak Hooda, Khaleel Ahmed and Ravi Bishnoi took to their Instagram stories and shared a unified appeal for votes on Tuesday. Each of them shared the same poster, which read: “VOTE FOR MALTI CHAHAR TO MAKE HER INTO FINAL OF BIGG BOSS. 99 VOTES EVERYDAY CONTINUOUSLY 5 DAYS. VOTING LINES OPEN 10:30 TONIGHT | VOTING CLOSES FRIDAY 10:00 AM (sic).” With such strong support from popular cricketers, viewers are quite eager to know whether Malti’s journey will take her to the finale—and possibly to the coveted trophy.

Meanwhile, the latest promo for Bigg Boss 19 revealed a surprising twist in the Ticket to Finale task. Bigg Boss reminded the contestants that only Shehbaz Badesha and Malti Chahar—both wildcard entrants—had not spent the full 13 weeks inside the house. The housemates were then given cards to vote “Yes” or “No” on whether the wildcards should be allowed to participate in the crucial task.

The moment the decision was made, tensions arose. In the one-on-one vote, Amaal, Pranit, Tanya, and Gaurav had voted in support of giving wildcards a chance but Ashnoor and Farrhana were clearly against it, saying Shehbaz and Malti hadn’t endured the entire journey. The 4–2 majority in their support let them compete.

The fans loved how he showed his sister love and support through her reality show journey.

Uncover the Dark Secrets of Stephen, the Tamil Thriller that’ll Leave You Breathless!

0

In a world where truth and deception often meet, Stephen dares to question everything the viewer believes about guilt, innocence, and the human mind. Netflix has dropped the intense trailer for the upcoming Tamil psychological thriller that begins with a disturbing yet intriguing scene-a man coolly walking into a police station to confess to a murder. What initially seems like a straightforward admission soon gets entangled in a maze of changing narratives, fractured memories, and unsettling revelations.

The trailer immediately sets an ominous tone, with a chilling score that heightens the sense of dread with every frame. The confession becomes the impetus for a psychological spiral where nothing is as it seems. Layers of truth, lies, and buried motives collide, forcing the viewer at every turn to challenge the protagonist’s intentions-along with their own assumptions.

Helmed by first-time filmmaker Mithun Balaji, Stephen marks the first lead role of Gomathi Shankar. The movie promises to be an engrossing, tense character study of guilt, morality, and the tenuous line between good and evil. Rather than mystery driving the plot, the narrative deepens into the psychological repercussions of what has occurred, not just the action itself.

With atmospheric storytelling, complex characters, and haunting sound design, Stephen shifts from a whodunit to a far more unsettling whydunit; the film dares viewers to piece together the truth, which gets more and more distorted with every new revelation.

Stephen adds to the increasing slate of bold, diverse Indian content on Netflix this year, strengthening the platform’s commitment to showcasing innovative voices and genres across regional cinema.

Judging from the trailer, this isn’t just a thriller; it’s an investigation into memory, identity, and the darkest corners of human consciousness. Get ready for a story that will make you doubt everything you think you know as Stephen begins streaming on December 5, only on Netflix.

Smriti Mandhana’s Father Discharged, But Wedding with Palash Muchhal Still on Hold – What’s Next?

0

Two days after the wedding of cricketer Smriti Mandhana and music composer Palash Muchhal was indefinitely postponed due to her father Shrinivas Mandhana’s sudden health scare, he has now been discharged from a hospital in Sangli—where the ceremony was originally scheduled to take place. According to reports, Shrinivas is stable and out of danger.

Shrinivas had shown symptoms resembling a heart attack, prompting doctors to perform an angiography. Fortunately, no blockages were detected, and he was deemed fit for discharge, India TV reported. Smriti’s manager, Tuhin Mishra, explained that Shrinivas’ condition deteriorated unexpectedly on Sunday morning while he was having breakfast, forcing the family to rush him to the hospital.

“His health suddenly declined while having breakfast. We initially waited, hoping he would recover, but when things worsened, we called an ambulance and admitted him. He was under observation,” Mishra said. He also confirmed that Smriti, who shares a close bond with her father, chose to postpone the wedding indefinitely until he fully recovers. “Smriti is clear—she wants her father to be completely well before she gets married,” Mishra added.

Although Shrinivas has now been discharged, the wedding date remains undecided. Neither the families nor Mishra have issued updates on rescheduling the ceremony. Adding to the speculation, Smriti deleted her engagement and pre-wedding posts from Instagram a day earlier. Her teammates also removed the viral engagement announcement reel they had created with her. The video—featuring Smriti dancing with teammates Jemimah Rodrigues, Shreyanka Patil, Radha Yadav, and Arundhati Reddy to “Samjho Ho Hi Gaya” from Lage Raho Munna Bhai—has now disappeared from all involved accounts, despite having over a million likes.

Neither Smriti nor Palash has commented publicly so far.

Ajith also addressed his decision to avoid entourages, reflecting on how his perspective has evolved. “If you had met me 20 years ago, you’d have probably hated me. I had an entourage.

Commenting on rising entourage costs in the film industry, he mentioned that while such support systems can be useful for some actors, they can also add to the burden on filmmakers. For him, simplicity and self-sufficiency remain the ideal way forward.
