Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal’s wedding, scheduled to be held on November 23, 2025, was first postponed due to a medical emergency in Smriti’s family. Soon after, cheating allegations against Palash surfaced online, adding further tension to the situation. While an earlier viral chat linked Palash to a woman named Mary D’Costa, a new name has now entered the discussion- dancer and choreographer Nandika Dwivedi. Read on to know more about Dwivedi.
Palash Muchhal’s Cheating Allegations
The cheating speculations allege that Nandika Dwivedi was involved in the wedding functions and was given the job of rehearsing with Palash for the sangeet ceremony. Although reports indicated that Mary D’Costa was the choreographer of the wedding, she has come out to reveal that she is not a dancer by profession. Yet, speculations persisted, with some claims that the alleged Palash’s relationship involved a choreographer connected with the wedding. Later, a thread on Reddit stated that Nandika Dwivedi was that person and that Smriti caught Palash with her.
Who Is Nandika Dwivedi
Nandika Dwivedi is reportedly a professional dancer who has worked with several well-known names in the industry. She has collaborated with popular choreographers Bosco, Piyush Bhagat and Shazia Samji of Besos fame. She has also featured as a lead performer in music videos, such as for the song Tere Piche by Mansimran. Her growing portfolio has made her a familiar name in the dance industry.
Rumours first began doing the rounds after Smriti’s father had to be hospitalised on the day of her wedding, and all the functions were postponed. Following this, Smriti Mandhana deleted all posts related to her wedding from her social media handles. Incidentally, Mary D’Costa then shared screenshots of alleged conversations with Palash that fueled the rumours even more.
Palash Muchhal has not made an official statement regarding cheating allegations yet. Since several stories are floating online, details are still unclear, and many await an official clarification by the people concerned.
