# Shocking Bollywood Twist: Palash Muchhal Slaps ₹10 Crore Defamation Suit Over Cheating and Fraud Claims! **Imagine getting caught red-handed in bed with another woman on the eve of your wedding to cricket star Smriti Mandhana—then facing fraud accusations too.** That's the explosive drama unfolding as music composer **Palash Muchhal** fires back with a massive legal blow.[1][4] Palash, still reeling from his called-off wedding with Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana, is now locked in a high-stakes battle with Sangli-based Marathi actor-producer **Vidnyan Mane**. Mane, who claims to be a childhood friend of Smriti, alleged that Palash was physically confronted by Indian cricket team members after being discovered in a compromising position the night before the wedding vows.[4][1] Adding fuel to the fire, Mane accused Palash of duping him out of **₹40 lakh** for his film project *Nazaria*. According to Mane's police complaint in Maharashtra's Sangli district (filed after meetings starting December 5, 2023), Palash promised huge returns—like ₹12 lakh profit on a ₹25 lakh investment—plus a role in the film, but the project never materialized, and no money was returned by March 2025.[1][2][3] No FIR has been registered yet.[1][2] Palash isn't staying silent. He took to Instagram Stories to announce: **"A legal notice of defamation of ₹10 crore has been sent by my lawyer Shreyansh Mithare to Sangli-based Vidnyan Mane for his false, outrageous and highly defamatory accusations made with the deliberate intent to malign my reputation and character."**[1][2][3] Palash calls all claims "baseless and factually incorrect," vowing to pursue every legal avenue.[4]
