The fairytale wedding of Indian cricket superstar Smriti Mandhana and music composer Palash Muchhal has taken a shocking turn. Originally scheduled for November 23, 2025, the ceremony has been indefinitely postponed at the last minute.
Social media is currently buzzing with confusion, especially regarding a typo-filled search term trending online: “Kios” (which likely refers to either the “Kiss” rumors circulating on Reddit or the deleted “Photos” from Instagram).
Here is the complete, humanized breakdown of exactly what happened this weekend.
1. Why Was the Wedding Postponed? (The Official Reason)
Before we get to the rumors, let’s look at the confirmed facts.
- Medical Emergency: On the morning of the wedding (Nov 23), Smriti’s father, Shrinivas Mandhana, complained of chest pain and symptoms resembling a heart attack. He was rushed to a hospital in Sangli.
- The Decision: Being deeply attached to her father, Smriti refused to proceed with the pheras (wedding rituals) while he was in the hospital.
- Palash’s Health: Reports state that the groom, Palash Muchhal, was also briefly hospitalized due to severe stress and anxiety after seeing his future father-in-law’s condition deteriorate.
Status Update (Nov 25): Smriti’s father has reportedly been discharged and is recovering, but the wedding dates are yet to be rescheduled.
2. The “Kios” Mystery: “Kiss” Rumors or “Photos”?
You might be seeing the term “kios” or “kiss” trending alongside their names. This stems from a darker side of the internet rumor mill that erupted right after the postponement.
Theory A: The “Kiss” & Cheating Rumors
Just as the wedding was paused, unverified screenshots and gossip started flooding Reddit and Twitter (X).
- The Rumor: Anonymous users claimed there were “leaked chats” or sightings of Palash Muchhal allegedly “kissing” another woman (a name “Mary D’Costa” surfaced online) days before the engagement.
- Verification: These are unverified internet rumors. Neither Smriti Mandhana, Palash, nor any official source has confirmed any infidelity. However, the timing of these rumors has added fuel to the fire.
Theory B: The “Photos” Deletion
The word “kios” is likely a typo for “Photos”, referring to Smriti’s sudden social media cleanup.
- What Happened: On Monday evening, fans noticed that Smriti Mandhana deleted all wedding-related posts from her Instagram.
- Deleted Content: The viral Haldi video, the Sangeet dance to “Tenu Leke”, and even the engagement announcement are gone.
- Teammates Followed Suit: Close friends like Jemimah Rodrigues and Shreyanka Patil also removed their congratulatory posts and videos.
Why delete them? While trolls are linking this to the “cheating” rumors, sources close to the family suggest it might be due to superstition (nazar) or simply a desire for privacy during a family medical crisis.
3. The Current Status: Are They Still Together?
Despite the “breakup” speculation caused by the deleted photos:
- They still follow each other on social media.
- Older Photos Remain: Smriti has not deleted older pictures of her and Palash (like birthday wishes or casual photos), which suggests the relationship is not over.
- Family Statement: Palash’s sister, singer Palak Muchhal, issued a statement asking for privacy solely due to “Smriti’s father’s health,” dismissing other narratives.
Conclusion: A Wait-and-Watch Game
What was supposed to be the “Wedding of the Year” has turned into a mystery. Whether the deletion of photos is an emotional reaction to her father’s health or a sign of internal conflict remains to be seen.
For now, the official stance is: The wedding is on hold until Smriti’s father recovers.
We wish Mr. Mandhana a speedy recovery.
