Palash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana update Instagram bios with ‘evil eye’ emoji after postponing wedding

The whirlwind surrounding singer-composer Palash Muchhal and cricketer Smriti Mandhana’s much-anticipated wedding continues to intensify after the pair unexpectedly postponed their ceremony. Amid constant public speculation and online rumours, the couple appears to have shared a subtle yet significant update through social media. Both Palash and Smriti have recently added the evil eye emoji to their Instagram bios — a symbol popularly believed to guard against negativity and ill-intentions. This change has sparked fresh curiosity among fans and followers, who are interpreting the symbol as a message suggesting that the couple is protecting their relationship from unwanted gossip and negative energy.

The update arrives shortly after statements from Palash’s mother, Amita Muchhal, who addressed the ongoing rumours and reassured fans that the wedding had not been cancelled. In her emotional remarks to Hindustan Times, she stated, “Smriti and Palash dono takleef mein hain... Palash dreamt of coming home with his bride. Everything will be fine, shaadi bohot jaldi hogi.” Her message indicated that the delay was due to unforeseen circumstances and not due to any disagreement between the couple.

The wedding was originally scheduled for November 23, 2025, but was postponed at the last moment following a medical emergency, when Smriti’s father reportedly experienced heart-attack-like symptoms and had to be urgently hospitalised. As he remains in recovery, Palash is said to have insisted on postponing the celebrations to prioritise Smriti’s family situation.

As rumours gained momentum, social media users began circulating allegations of conflict and even ‘cheating’ after Smriti removed wedding-related posts from her account. Despite the rising chatter, neither Palash nor Smriti has issued an official statement addressing the speculation. For now, fans hope the evil eye symbol signals strength, unity, and a positive road ahead.
