Palaash Muchhal was also admitted to a hospital in Mumbai around the same time. Following this, the rumour mill exploded, with some even alleging that Palaash Muchhal cheated on Smriti Mandhana, as cited by Hindustan Times.

Palaash Muchhal speaks out
As per the report of Hindustan Times, Palaash Muchhal later addressed everything in a note on Instagram. He wrote, "I have decided to move on in my life and step back from my personal relationship."
He added, "It's been very difficult for me to see people react so easily on baseless rumours about something which has been most sacred to me. Its the most difficult phase of my life, and I will deal with it gracefully, holding on to my beliefs. I truly hope we, as a society, learn to pause before judging someone based on unverified gossip, whose sources are never identified.
Our words can wound in ways we may never understand." After the split, both Palaash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana unfollowed each other on Instagram.
