Who is Mary D’Costa? The internet hasn’t taken a breather for the last two days. Every social media platform is flooded with speculation about Palash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana’s wedding, which was all set to take place on November 23, 2025. A name that has been linked with the controversy is Mary D’Costa. What began as an emotional moment for fans — a dream wedding between a music composer and one of India’s biggest cricket stars — suddenly shifted into chaos. First came the news of back-to-back health scares in both families. Then, out of nowhere, a shocking new twist appeared: alleged “flirty chats” involving Palash and a woman named Mary D’Costa went viral.

So who exactly is Mary? Why is her name at the centre of this online storm? And what actually sparked these rumours? Let’s break it down in simple words and understand the full story that has taken the internet by surprise.

 

Who Is Mary D’Costa? The Name Triggering Online Frenzy

Mary D’Costa is reportedly a choreographer. According to widespread online claims, she was supposedly hired to choreograph Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal’s wedding events. Mary D’Costa’s social media accounts are private, and very little is known about her personal life.

But the lack of public information only added more mystery. And when alleged screenshots of chats between her and Palash surfaced online, the internet went into overdrive, trying to figure out who she is and how she got involved in the couple’s wedding drama.

 

The Viral Chat Controversy — What The Screenshots Claimed

The biggest trigger came from screenshots that were widely circulated across Reddit, X, Instagram pages, and fan forums. In the alleged chats:

  • Palash was seen asking Mary D’Costa to meet him at a Marriott hotel for “a swim.”
  • He allegedly suggested bringing his assistant to make it look like they were a “group” and not just the two of them.
  • He reportedly described his relationship with Smriti as “dead most” and “long-distance.”
  • Mary D’Costa, according to the screenshots, questioned him repeatedly.
  • Palash allegedly kept insisting they should still meet.

These screenshots spread faster than anyone expected. Within hours, they were everywhere. But here’s the catch — none of these screenshots have been verified. Their authenticity remains unclear. They could be real. They could be fake. Nobody knows for sure.

Yet, the speed with which they travelled online tells you how emotionally invested fans were in this wedding.

 

Speculation About Smriti’s Father’s Health – Fact Or Rumor?

Amid the chat controversy, some Reddit users shared shocking claims. One post suggested that Smriti’s father, Shrinivas Mandana, allegedly discovered the chats during a pre-wedding event and confronted Palash. According to that rumour, the confrontation led to Shrinivas Mandana suffering a heart attack. However:

  • No official source has confirmed this.
  • The family has not commented on it.
  • Even the original Reddit post has been deleted.

The truth behind this particular claim remains completely unclear. It may not be true at all. But once it appeared online, it became part of the larger narrative.

Right after these alleged chats went viral, fans noticed that Smriti Mandhana had quietly deleted her engagement dance video from her social media accounts.

There was no caption explaining the removal. No archived section. Just gone. This one silent action added fuel to an already burning rumour. Fans began asking questions:

  • Why delete the engagement video now?
  • Was this connected to the alleged chats?
  • Was something wrong between Smriti and Palash?

And just hours later, the wedding itself was officially postponed.

 

Wedding Postponement – Health Reason Or Something More?

Palak Muchhal confirmed that the wedding was postponed because Smriti’s father was unwell. Later, reports claimed Palash himself also had health issues.

There is nothing wrong with postponing a wedding for medical emergencies. It’s normal and understandable.

But the timing — chats going viral, videos being deleted, rumours flying everywhere — naturally made people curious. And curiosity on the internet quickly turns into speculation.

 

The Relationship Timeline — From Private To Public

Smriti and Palash reportedly began dating in 2019. They met through mutual friends. Cricket and music brought them closer. For years, they kept their relationship private.

Things changed in 2024 when they made their relationship public.

Palash even got a tattoo of SM18 — Smriti’s initials and jersey number. At that time, fans thought this relationship was rock solid.

That’s why the sudden drama hit so hard. People didn’t see it coming.

 

Rumours Are Unverified

Here’s the important part:
Nothing has been officially confirmed.
Nothing has been denied either.

Neither Palash nor Smriti has made a statement regarding the alleged cheating or the viral screenshots.

But the internet doesn’t wait. Theories, assumptions, comments, heartbreak messages — everything has taken over timelines. This incident also shows how quickly online rumours can spiral. A few screenshots, a deleted video, and a postponed wedding were enough to trigger a massive social media debate.

 

Conclusion

At the moment, the story of Mary D’Costa and the alleged “flirty chats” remains unverified. There is no official confirmation from Smriti Mandhana or Palash Muchhal. Yet, the rumours have already shaped public opinion, sparked countless discussions, and overshadowed what was supposed to be a happy occasion in their lives.

Whether Mary was actually involved or whether the screenshots were manipulated, only time — and a possible statement from the couple — will reveal the truth. Until then, all we can say is this: online storms rise quickly, but real answers often take time.
