The widespread report that Smriti Mandhana unfollowed Palash Muchhal on Instagram is completely incorrect.

There have been online allegations that Palash cheated on Smriti. The allegation is fuelled by screenshots on Reddit and Instagram purportedly showing him conversing with a woman named Mary D’Costa.

The communications come across as flirtatious, with invitations to swim, spa visits, and morning walks on Versova Beach. In the conversation, he also admits that his long-distance relationship ‘actually s*cks’.

“We meet once every 3-5 months. Previously, I used to go on her trip to relax. But the previous two years have been quite stressful for me as well,” the man in the discussion continues.
