# Shocking Twist in Smriti Mandhana's Wedding Saga: Nandish Sandhu Breaks Silence on Palash Muchhal's Side! **Imagine the wedding of the year crumbling just hours before the vows—now, a TV star steps in to defend the groom.** In a dramatic turn to the Smriti Mandhana-Palash Muchhal breakup story, actor **Nandish Sandhu** has spoken out, urging everyone to "let Palash speak from his side" amid the cancellation fallout.[1] Cricket sensation **Smriti Mandhana** and music composer **Palash Muchhal** (often spelled Palaash Mucchal in reports) were set to tie the knot on November 23, 2025, in Sangli, Maharashtra. But chaos struck: Smriti's father, Srinivas Mandhana, suffered a severe chest pain emergency with elevated cardiac enzymes, landing him in the hospital. Palash himself needed medical care shortly after, forcing an indefinite postponement.[1][2] Weeks of rumors exploded—allegations of Palash's infidelity swirled online, denied fiercely by his family, who even threatened legal action against "baseless" claims.[2][3] Smriti finally broke her silence on Instagram, confirming the wedding was **called off** for good. "I am a very private person... the wedding is called off," she wrote, pleading for privacy for both families and vowing to focus on her cricket career and winning trophies for India.[1][2] Palash echoed this, saying he chose to "move on and step back," slamming the media circus that turned their personal crisis into public spectacle.[2][5] Enter **Nandish Sandhu**, known from TV dramas, who couldn't stay quiet. In a recent Times of India interview, he defended Palash: "Let Palash speak from his side." Sandhu highlighted how public figures like them face brutal scrutiny—health scares become tabloid fodder, private heartbreaks fuel Reddit threads and "tea" pages. "Weddings fall apart for a dozen reasons... but when you're famous, it's surveillance," as one report poignantly noted.[5] Fans are divided: some sympathize with Smriti's resolve to prioritize cricket, others question the rushed publicity around their romance that started with a surprise proposal and ring exchange.[4][6] This saga underscores the raw side of fame—**elite athlete meets composer, love story goes viral, then implodes under pressure.** Smriti's now eyeing leadership with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in WPL 2026, while Palash battles rumors. Nandish's call for fairness adds a fresh voice: will Palash finally share his full story?[7]
