The entertainment world was buzzing after reports came out that Indian women’s cricket vice-captain Smriti Mandhana and filmmaker Palash Muchhal had postponed their wedding. While the official reason was a “medical emergency,” the timing led to a flood of online theories.
Fans noticed Smriti had removed her engagement and proposal posts from Instagram. Soon, screenshots of an old “flirty chat” linked to Palash started going viral. This immediately sparked claims of alleged cheating, creating huge drama on social media.
Online Hunt to Identify the ‘Mystery Choreographer’
Because the couple’s sangeet choreography was handled by Bosco–Caesar’s team, the internet quickly began pointing fingers at various choreographers.
Two names kept showing up: Gulnaaz Khan and Nandika Dwivedi.
Anonymous posts on Reddit, Instagram, and even X began accusing them without any proof. Some users even claimed Palash had unfollowed one of them, making the situation worse.
Gulnaaz Khan Faces Harassment Online
As the rumours intensified, Gulnaaz Khan’s social media comments were flooded with questions like:
“Is it you?”
“Are you the choreographer involved?”
With false claims spreading everywhere, she decided to speak up and clear her name.
Gulnaaz Khan Issues a Strong Clarification
Gulnaaz released a statement on her Instagram story, calling out the baseless allegations.
She wrote that she and her friend Nandika had nothing to do with the controversy.
Her message was simple and firm —
Knowing someone socially or posing for a photo with them does not mean involvement in their personal matters.
She requested people to stop assuming and to show basic respect before accusing anyone.
Another Woman Also Clarifies Her Role
Mary D’Costa, the woman who reportedly shared the chat screenshots earlier, also posted her own clarification.
She made it clear she was not the choreographer and not involved in any affair with Palash.
Her statement further confirmed how far the rumours had drifted from the actual facts.
What Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal Have Said
Surprisingly, both Smriti and Palash have stayed completely silent about the allegations.
They have only repeated that the wedding was postponed due to a medical reason.
Nandika Dwivedi, the other choreographer dragged into the controversy, has made her Instagram profile private and has not issued any public statement yet.
The Real Impact of Viral Rumours
This entire incident shows how quickly online gossip can harm real people.
A simple misunderstanding turned into a full-blown “witch hunt,” affecting the personal and professional lives of innocent individuals.
Gulnaaz’s statement is a reminder that before believing or spreading rumours, people should think about the human cost. In the digital age, empathy is more important than ever.
Conclusion
The controversy around Palash Muchhal and the alleged choreographer shows how dangerous online speculation can be. Without any proof, names were thrown around, leading to unnecessary drama and stress for innocent people. Gulnaaz Khan’s clear and bold statement has helped settle many questions, but the incident highlights the need for responsible behaviour on social media.
Until the main people involved speak officially, everything else remains speculation — and speculation should not be treated as truth.
