Reaction on Social Media: Fans Divided

At this time, it has also been revealed that Smriti Mandhana has deleted numerous posts related to her wedding, pre-wedding events, and engagement from her Instagram account. This includes her proposal video, Pics from the Haldi-Mehndi event, and certain clips from other significant Events.
While this has generated further debate regarding whether or not Smriti Mandhana's deletion of these posts means there was an issue with Palash Muchhal, it is Critical to keep in mind that decisions about postponing a Wedding are personal and not indicative of an issue between two individuals.
Family's Stance: Appeal for Peace and Privacy
The Mandhane family and Palak Muchhal, therefore, wish for the media and public to treat these recent developments in both families with the same respect for privacy they would extend to their friends at this time of personal loss; thus, they are requesting that the media and public refrain from making any assumptions regarding this situation until everything has been confirmed.

Currently, there are no official announcements regarding the new wedding date, and the decision concerning the wedding will not be made until Mr. Mandhana recovers from his illness completely.
Until we receive a definitive statement from both Palak Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana regarding the viral conversations referenced in previous articles, we recommend that you consider them to be nothing more than "rumours" and that any conclusions drawn from them would not be based on confirmed information.
While both Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal are known throughout the public, this does not suggest that every detail of their lives should be the subject of public discussion.
In the era of social media, it is easy to assume something is news worthy or credible due to how quickly it circulates, but one must be cautious before assuming something is factual simply because it is trending. It is unknown at this time whether either person will publicly address the matter soon.
Statement from the girl who posted the viral chat: "I am not a choreographer, nor was I a part of it."

The entire affair took on a different complexion when the girl involved in the scandal, who allegedly sent out the chat which has now become internet-famous (or infamous if you will), came forward and said something. The girl made it very clear that she is not a choreographer, nor is she affiliated in the life being connected with the case at all.
In her post, she explained that the chats that were put out there were from May 2025 to July 2025 and were part of conversations that she had for just under a month. She explained that the reason for releasing the chat was to expose the truth, and not to damage anyone's name. The girl went on to explain that she is not a choreographer, nor did she mislead anyone in any fashion.
In her statement, she said "I was just trying to bring the truth to light; I never intended to ruin anyone's life." She had only wanted Smriti Mandanna and other individuals involved to know the truth about their association.
According to the girl, she had no idea that posting something as simple as this one post would turn into such a huge controversy. She stated that the way she was being attacked by everyone and mistaken for a choreographer caused her to have serious mental stress and even went so far as to make her social media account private because it had become so overwhelming.
She asks that no one be the target of speculation and slander due to unfounded social media attacks, as these unsupported allegations can devastate a person's everyday existence. She said today she would have never believed that one simple message could impact her sense of self and her peace of mind so much.
The situation is now even more complicated because it is unclear what is fact and what has been concocted by a "mob" of people on the internet.
