After the cancellation of his wedding with Smriti Mandhana, composer Palash Muchhal is facing criticism and online trolling, while Mandhana appeals for privacy.
Mumbai, December 08, 2025 – The breakup between Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana and music composer Palash Muchhal has triggered a wave of reactions online, with Muchhal now facing heavy criticism and trolling. The couple recently confirmed that their planned wedding has been cancelled, ending months of speculation and rumours about the sudden change in their relationship.
Earlier, their wedding was postponed due to health issues in both families. Mandhana’s father suffered a cardiac emergency and Muchhal himself was admitted to hospital, which forced the couple to delay the celebrations. But after weeks of silence and social-media hints, both finally issued statements announcing that they have decided to part ways.
Muchhal described the decision as painful and urged people not to spread unverified information. He also warned against defamatory posts and suggested that he may take legal action against false allegations circulating online. Despite this, social media comments have become sharply critical, with many users blaming him for the breakup and attacking him over personal matters.
Mandhana has received a different response from fans. While many expressed disappointment about the cancelled wedding, most messages have been supportive, praising her for prioritising her well-being and showing maturity. Her posts after the announcement drew thousands of comments encouraging her to focus on her cricket career and stay strong.
Friends and supporters of both have appealed for privacy, calling the situation a personal matter that should not be turned into a public trial. However, in the age of social media, speculation and judgment tend to spread quickly, especially when celebrities are involved. For Muchhal, the online negativity has reportedly increased since the announcement, and his previous posts are being flooded with comments questioning his conduct and intentions.
The breakup has also prompted discussion about the pressures celebrity couples face. Public expectations, media attention and fan emotions often combine to create a climate where personal decisions become instant public controversies. Analysts say that the current reaction reflects not just disappointment among fans but also the magnified reactions typical in celebrity culture today.
Mandhana has stated that she will continue to focus entirely on cricket. With important tournaments coming up, she appears determined not to let personal developments affect her professional commitments. Muchhal, meanwhile, may need to deal with online hostility for some time, although legal action against abusive posts could reduce the intensity.
For now, the situation highlights how personal relationships in the public eye can quickly turn into national news, and how the social-media environment can amplify emotions far beyond what couples anticipate. Whether the backlash fades or continues depends largely on how fans and followers choose to respond in the coming days.
