Just when we thought the postponement of Smriti Mandhana’s wedding was solely due to a family medical emergency, the internet unearthed a new storm. The name “Mary D’Costa” has been trending alongside the cricketer and her fiancé, music composer Palash Muchhal, triggering a wave of cheating rumors.
After days of silence and intense trolling, the mysterious woman behind the viral “leaked chats” has finally stepped forward. In a detailed Instagram statement, Mary D’Costa has refuted the wild theories claiming she was the “wedding choreographer” or the cause of the breakup, offering a completely different side to the story.
Here is the full breakdown of her clarification and the truth behind those viral screenshots.
Mary D’Costa’s Official Clarification: “I Am Not the Choreographer”
As the internet accused her of being the “other woman” who ruined the wedding, Mary took to her Instagram stories to clear her name. She dismantled the rumors point-by-point:
1. The “Choreographer” Myth
Rumors were rife that Palash cheated with the wedding choreographer. Mary firmly stated:
“I am not the choreographer, and I am not the person he cheated with. I’m saying this because things are getting mixed up.”
2. The Extent of Contact
She clarified that her interaction with Palash was purely online and short-lived.
- Timeline: The chats occurred between April 29 and May 30, 2025.
- No Physical Meeting: She emphasized, “I want to make it absolutely clear that I never met him and I never got involved with him in any way.”
3. Why She Exposed Him
Mary claimed she originally tried to expose Palash back in July 2025, but it went noticed because he wasn’t as mainstream then. Her motivation? She is a cricket fan.
“I follow cricket, and I adore Smriti Mandhana. I would never hurt another woman like that… I felt the need to be transparent about everything.”
What Was in the Viral Chats?
For those who missed the now-deleted Reddit threads, the screenshots alleged a shocking narrative.
- The “Dead” Relationship: In the alleged texts, Palash reportedly described his relationship with Smriti Mandhana as “dead most” and “long-distance,” implying he was unhappy.
- The Invitations: The chats purportedly showed Palash inviting Mary to meet him for swimming or hanging out, which she claims she eventually “ghosted.”
Note: While Mary admits to posting the screenshots, the authenticity of the content within them has not been verified by Palash or Smriti’s team.
The Backlash: Rape Threats and Cyberbullying
Since the news broke, Mary D’Costa has faced the dark side of internet fame.
- Threats: She shared disturbing screenshots of DMs receiving rape threats and abusive language from angry fans who blame her for “breaking” Smriti’s heart.
- Privacy: Following the harassment, Mary has made her Instagram account private, pleading with fans to stop the hate. She wrote, “I genuinely didn’t expect this kind of backlash… I honestly can’t handle the hate.”
Where Do Smriti and Palash Stand?
While Mary D’Costa has cleared her stance, the silence from the main couple is deafening.
- Smriti Mandhana: Has deleted all wedding posts but still follows Palash on Instagram.
- Palash Muchhal: Has not issued any statement denying the chats or addressing Mary’s claims.
- The Wedding Status: Officially, the wedding remains “postponed” due to Smriti’s father’s health, but the deletion of photos suggests there is friction behind the scenes.
Conclusion
Mary D’Costa’s statement changes the narrative significantly. She positions herself not as a “homewrecker,” but as a whistleblower who tried to warn a celebrity she admired. However, without a word from Palash or Smriti, fans are left connecting the dots.
As the internet debates whether this was a “fan looking out for a star” or a “clout-chasing move,” one thing is certain: Smriti Mandhana deserves privacy and peace as her father recovers.
