Music composer Palash Muchhal has deleted all photos of Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana from his Instagram account, fuelling fresh speculation about the status of their relationship amid unverified cheating allegations.
This move comes weeks after reports of Mandhana’s cancelled wedding with Muchhal surfaced online, triggering widespread discussion across social media.
While Muchhal has repeatedly denied allegations of cheating, the sudden archival of all images featuring Mandhana has added to the uncertainty surrounding the couple’s future.

Fans noticed the change on Sunday, when Muchhal’s Instagram feed appeared noticeably altered. Photos that once showed the couple together, including birthday wishes, holiday pictures and supportive posts, were no longer visible.
More than a dozen photos have been removed from the composer’s profile. In addition, the two no longer follow each other on Instagram, further intensifying breakup rumours.
The digital clean-up has drawn sharp attention, especially given how publicly supportive the duo had been of each other in the past.
Despite reports that the two were close to getting married in November, no public explanation has been offered about what led to the apparent breakdown of their relationship.

The latest development appears to be linked to cheating allegations against Muchhal that have been circulating online. These claims remain unverified, and the composer has denied them on multiple occasions. However, the Instagram activity has given new momentum to the rumours.
Mandhana, the vice-captain of the Indian women’s national cricket team, has largely kept her personal life away from the spotlight. Her relationship with Muchhal, brother of singer Palak Muchhal, was one of the few aspects of her private life that had been visible to fans.
