Since 23rd November, Smriti Mandhana and Palaash Muchhal’s wedding has remained firmly in the public spotlight. What began with a sudden cancellation, reportedly due to a health scare in the immediate family, soon spiralled into a wave of online theories. As days passed, the Internet grew louder, with many pointing fingers at Palaash and alleging possible cheating behind the postponement.
Now, a fresh twist has surfaced as Kranti Gaud’s latest Instagram update appears to subtly hint that the cheating claims may indeed be true.

Smriti and Palaash’s wedding drama deepens after Kranti Gaud shares cheating-linked reel
In today’s world, even the tiniest action on social media can explode into a full-blown conversation. A single like, repost, or emoji is enough to set the internet buzzing, and Kranti Gaud’s recent Instagram move is a perfect example of this.
When she reposted a reel hinting at Palaash Muchhal’s alleged cheating, it instantly caught the attention of fans who were already watching the Smriti – Palaash situation closely. Whether she meant it intentionally or tapped the option by accident, the ripple effect was immediate and huge.
Within hours, screenshots of her story began circulating across platforms. Redditors dissected the post frame by frame, convinced that this was an indirect confirmation of the cheating rumours. Some felt Kranti surely knew what she was doing, given her active presence online, while others believed it could have been a simple slip. But regardless of the intention, the impact was the same – the repost added new fuel to an already heated discussion.
Kranti, being a close friend of Smriti, unintentionally sent out a much louder message through this repost than any statement could have. Her engagement with a reel centred on the alleged cheating suggests that these conversations aren’t being ignored by those closest to Smriti either. If the rumours held no truth, it’s unlikely she would have interacted with such content at all. This small move now has many wondering – what if the rumours are closer to reality than anyone expected?

Not just Kranti – Smriti Mandhana’s other teammates also drop subtle hints online
It isn’t just Kranti Gaud’s Instagram activity that has caught the public eye – Smriti Mandhana’s other teammates have also been dropping subtle yet noticeable hints online. One of the most talked-about posts came from Renuka Singh Thakur, who shared a deeply emotional, spiritual quote on her Instagram Story.

The message about letting people go and trusting divine timing immediately triggered speculation among fans. Many felt the timing wasn’t a coincidence and that it quietly reflected Smriti’s own decision to distance herself from Palaash amid the cheating allegations.

Adding to the growing curiosity, Radha Yadav’s move intensified the buzz even further. Her decision to unfollow Palaash Muchhal just as alleged chats with another woman resurfaced seemed too aligned with the ongoing controversy to be ignored. Fans interpreted it as a silent show of solidarity with Smriti and another sign that those close to her were aware of far more than what had surfaced publicly.
Together, these social-media breadcrumbs from Smriti’s inner circle have sparked even more discussion. None of the teammates have said a word directly, yet their online actions have spoken loudly enough to make people wonder if there’s more truth to the rumours than anyone initially imagined.

Smriti Mandhana and Palaash Muchhal’s wedding fiasco
The wedding was initially postponed after Smriti Mandhana’s father reportedly experienced heart-attack–like symptoms and had to be rushed to the hospital, as stated by the family. But soon after, the situation took a sharp turn when a woman named Mary D’Costa leaked alleged chats with Palaash, where he was seen flirting, asking her to meet at the Marriott for a swim, and calling his own relationship “dead” and “long distance.”
His name was later linked with a few choreographers as well, though those claims have mostly been debunked by the choreographers themselves. Even then, new theories and fresh narrations continue to surface every day. Interestingly, despite all the noise, both Smriti and Palaash recently updated their Instagram bios with a matching evil eye emoji, adding yet another layer of confusion.
