Bollywood singer and composer Palash Muchel is once again at the centre of controversy. Following the leak of an intimate chat with dance director Mary D’Costa, rumours have now emerged linking him with another young woman.

The latest speculation involves Nandika Dwivedi, a professional dancer and choreographer. She was reportedly present at the wedding of Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana, where several photographs of her surfaced on social media.

Earlier, it was widely discussed that Palash was seen sharing a kiss with a woman at the wedding, an incident witnessed by cricketer Shreyanka Patil. The situation reportedly led to a confrontation between Palash and Smriti Mandhana herself. Initially, many believed the woman in question was Mary D’Costa. However, Mary has publicly stated that she was not present at the wedding and that, although she had exchanged chats with Palash a couple of months prior, they had never actually met.

This has raised questions about the identity of Palash’s alleged kissing partner. Attention is now turning to Nandika Dwivedi, with sources suggesting that she and Palash may be involved in a secret romance, one they could no longer keep hidden. In response to the speculation, Nandika has made her Instagram account private and reportedly left the wedding shortly after the alleged incident.

Palash and Smriti Mandhana had planned to marry on 23 November and had even completed their engagement and pre-wedding celebrations. Yet, the wedding has now been put on hold. Social media activity suggests tensions, with Smriti’s friends and family reportedly unfollowing Palash on Instagram. Whether the marriage will proceed remains uncertain, with both Palash and Smriti remaining tight-lipped about the matter.
