According to Smriti Mandhana’s childhood friend Vidnyan Mane, Palash Muchhal cheated Smriti and was caught red-handed with another woman in bed.
Star Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana was set to tie the knot with musician Palash Muchhal in November 2025 but the wedding was called off. Now a couple of months after the much-talked about wedding saga, Mandhana’s childhood friend Vidnyan Mane, who claimed to be present at the wedding functions, has made a shocking claim about Palash. According to Mane, Palash cheated Smriti and was caught red-handed with another woman in bed.
“I was at the wedding celebrations (November, 23, 2025) when he was caught red-handed with another woman in bed. Bhayanak scene tha, he was beaten up by the Indian female cricketers. The entire family is chindi chor. I thought he’d get married and settle in Sangli, but it has completely backfired on me,” Mane was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.
According to Mane, he is Smriti’s childhood friend and was introduced to Palaash by the Mandhana family. He has also accused Muchhal of cheating him of over Rs 40 lakh and has filed a complaint in Sangli.
“When I met his mother (Amita Muchhal) last month, she said the budget to release the movie has now increased to ₹1.5 crore. They asked me to invest another ₹10 lakh or I wouldn’t get any money back. They started blackmailing me and threatened to throw me out of the film, thus I was forced to file a complaint,” he said.
“After the wedding was called off, the family blocked me from everywhere. I found out that other artistes from the movie had not received payment they were due to receive either. I had heard of directors fleecing producers in the film industry but this is complete theft,” Mane added.
According to him, he has all the proofs against Palash and he is willing to share them with police and media to expose the reality of Muchhal family.
“I have saved all proofs including my chats and phone conversations that I’m willing to share with the police and the media,”
