‘Let Palaash speak from his side’: Nandish Sandhu breaks silence on Palaash Muchhal-Smriti Mandhana wedding cancellation

Singer-composer Palaash Muchhal and Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana’s wedding, scheduled for November 2025, was called off just a day before the ceremony. While Palash was later accused of allegedly cheating on Smriti, the families, in their official statement at the time, cited the ill health of Smriti’s father as the reason for postponing the wedding. Now, actor Nandish Sandhu, who was present at the wedding venue, has spoken about what unfolded there.

‘Let Palash speak from his side’

In an interaction with Miss Malini, Nandish chose not to comment on the infidelity allegations against Palaash. He said, “It’s better not to say anything on that right now. And let Palaash speak from his side.” He further claimed that no one had approached Palash to hear his version of events.

What happened at the venue

Recalling the events in Sangli, Nandish shared that he had reached the venue unaware of the sudden turn of events. “I’d gone for the wedding. That didn’t happen. And I just got to know that it’s not happening at the moment,” he said.

He added that a medical emergency involving Smriti Mandhana’s father was communicated as the reason behind the postponement. “It’s postponed because what came out in the news, the same thing was there. Conveyed to you guys. Conveyed to everybody. Smriti’s dad wasn’t well. He was in the hospital. And that’s why everything has been postponed,” Nandish explained.

‘I feel bad about it’

Nandish admitted that he later learnt about the allegations against Palaash only through media reports. “Later on, I got to know through the news and media that this is what has been printed and this is happening. And I feel bad about it,” he said.

‘I’ve seen the love between them’

Speaking about Palaash and Smriti’s relationship, Nandish said the situation saddened him deeply. “Whatever the reason might have been, the wedding didn’t happen. And you know, I’ve seen the love. I’ve seen how madly they were in love for the last five, six years. They were such a cute, nice couple,” he shared.



Earlier, Vidnyan Mane, who claimed to be a childhood friend of Smriti Mandhana, made allegations against Palaash. He told Hindustan Times, “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.”Get the latest entertainment updates from the Times of India, along with the latest Hindi movies, upcoming Hindi movies in 2026 , and Telugu movies.”
