Social media platforms are currently abuzz with unsubstantiated rumors linking filmmaker and musician Palaash Muchhal to alleged infidelity against cricketer Smriti Mandhana. Amidst this digital storm, an anonymous Reddit post wrongly implicated a choreographer hired for the couple’s now-postponed wedding. As her image began circulating, a colleague has stepped forward to unequivocally deny these baseless accusations. Gulnaaz, who collaborates with choreographer Nandika Dwivedi and is part of Bosco’s professional team, issued a strong statement on Instagram Stories. She emphasized that neither she nor Nandika are involved in the unfolding controversy. The allegations against the choreographers gained traction online as speculation surrounding Muchhal and cheating rumors intensified, despite lacking any verifiable evidence.
“We are not the people involved in this issue,” Gulnaaz stated, defending both herself and Nandika. She further elaborated, “I’ve been noticing a lot of speculation and false claims going around about me and my friend Nandika, so I want to make it clear that we are not the people involved in this issue. Just because we know someone socially or have a photo with them doesn’t mean we are connected to their personal matters. Please let’s keep things respectful and not jump to conclusions. We appreciate your understanding and support.” Following this online frenzy, Nandika Dwivedi’s social media profile was made private.
The rumors escalated significantly after Smriti Mandhana and Palaash Muchhal’s wedding was unexpectedly halted last week. Fans noticed that Mandhana had removed all wedding-related posts from her Instagram, including engagement and proposal photos. Without any official statement from the couple, these deletions fueled widespread speculation across Reddit, Instagram, and X. Mandhana, the 29-year-old vice-captain of the Indian women’s cricket team, was slated to marry her long-time partner Muchhal, 30. The ceremony was paused just hours before the nuptials were set to commence. Initial reports indicated that Mandhana’s father experienced a medical emergency, leading to the postponement. As of now, neither the couple nor their families have released a public statement addressing the controversy or the reason behind the deleted posts. Individuals close to the families and wedding organizers maintain that the ceremony was delayed solely due to a medical emergency.
