Who is Birva Shah, Ex-Fiancée in Palash Muchhal's Viral Proposal?
Cricketer Smriti Mandhana’s wedding to music composer Palash Muchhal has been marred by unverified cheating allegations against Palash and a social media frenzy after Smriti deleted all pre-wedding posts. The chaos intensified as photos of Palash’s elaborate 2017 proposal to his ex-girlfriend, Birva Shah, resurfaced online.
November 26, 2025: What began as a simple family crisis—the sudden hospitalization of cricketer Smriti Mandhana’s father, Shrinivas Mandhana, which led to the indefinite postponement of her November 23 wedding to Palash Muchhal—has exploded into a full-blown internet controversy.
The drama escalated rapidly after Smriti quietly deleted all wedding-related content, including her engagement reel, from her Instagram profile. This action fueled widespread speculation just as unverified screenshots, allegedly showing Palash engaging in flirtatious conversations with other women, began circulating online.
The most damaging speculation stems from screenshots, which briefly surfaced on Instagram and were then widely shared on platforms like Reddit and X.
The Chats: The alleged messages purportedly show Palash communicating flirtatiously with a woman, often identified as Mary D’Costa (though reports indicate she is not the wedding choreographer), and making comments about his long-distance relationship with Smriti being strained.
The Timeline: Some of the alleged chats are reportedly dated back to May 2025. While their authenticity remains unverified, the exposure was enough to ignite a social media firestorm, with many users speculating about an abrupt fallout.
Family Statements: Amid the uproar, Palash’s mother, Amita Muchhal, and his sister, singer Palak Muchhal, issued statements focusing solely on the medical emergency, confirming the wedding was put “on hold” due to Shrinivas Mandhana’s health, effectively sidestepping the cheating rumours.
Adding another layer of drama to the online buzz, old photos of Palash’s past relationship with Birva Shah have gone viral.
The comparison between Palash’s grand gesture for Birva and his subsequent relationship with Smriti has become a trending topic, with netizens scrutinizing his relationship history amidst the current crisis.
Despite the intense scrutiny and emotional toll—Palash was also briefly hospitalized due to stress and ill health—both Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal have maintained silence on the cheating allegations, leaving fans and the public to debate the authenticity of the claims versus the official narrative of a postponement due to medical emergency.
