Filmmaker Palaash Muchhal, recently in the spotlight due to the postponement of his wedding to cricketer Smriti Mandhana, has made his first public appearance at a Premanand Maharaj satsang in Vrindavan. The wedding, originally planned for November 23rd, was indefinitely postponed. Muchhal was photographed at the religious event on December 2nd, wearing a mask and observing the proceedings with visible respect.
His presence at the satsang has ignited considerable online debate, especially against the backdrop of circulating rumors alleging that Muchhal was unfaithful to the star cricketer. Social media users are questioning the significance of his spiritual sojourn and its timing amidst these rumors. A video shared online captured Muchhal at the gathering, quickly becoming a talking point across various platforms.
The internet’s response has been largely mixed, with a prevailing sentiment that Muchhal’s attendance might be a calculated ‘PR move.’ Comments expressed disbelief and sarcasm, with some users suggesting, “People like Palaash Muchhal think attending Premanand Maharaj ji’s satsang will resolve their problems.” Others made light of the situation, jokingly referencing potential health benefits.
This marks Muchhal’s first public sighting following the unexpected halt of his wedding. The ceremony was abruptly canceled on the wedding day when Smriti Mandhana’s father was rushed to the hospital due to heart-related symptoms. Following this, Muchhal himself received medical care. Further controversy arose from online claims alleging Muchhal’s infidelity, specifically naming the wedding choreographer. Both the choreographer and her associates have publicly refuted these accusations. To date, neither Muchhal nor Mandhana have commented on the wedding’s postponement or the rumors that have surfaced.
