Music Composer Palash Muchhal got under the radar once again. Fresh reports claim that he was caught red-handed with another woman in bed. Adding to that, Smriti’s childhood friend, Vidnyan, also stated that the singer cheated him out of over 40 lakhs, which he had taken in the name of an unreleased film. Mane claimed, “When I met Palash’s mother, Amita Muchhal, last month, she told me that the budget to release the film had increased to Rs 1.5 crore. I was asked to invest another Rs 10 lakh or risk losing my entire investment. I was threatened with being removed from the project, which left me with no choice but to file a complaint,”

Palash Muchhal’s advocate, Shreyansh Mithare, noting on the allegations, said, “Vidnyan claims he has paid us money, but there is no evidence of whether this payment was made via cheque or bank transfer. As for the allegations of Palash being caught with another woman, where is the evidence? We don’t even know this individual personally; we were introduced to him through Smriti’s father, Shrinivas. There has been no direct association with him. Why did he remain silent for so long? It is only after the wedding was called off that he surfaced. Palash is currently exploring his legal options.” per The Indian Express.

Vidnyan Mane, who is a childhood friend of Smriti Mandhana, speaking to Hindustan Times also alleged that Palash cheated on her, stating, “I was at the wedding celebrations (November, 23, 2025) when he was caught red-handed with another woman in bed. Bhayanak scene tha, he was beaten up by the Indian female cricketers. The entire family is chindi chor. I thought he’d get married and settle in Sangli, but it has completely backfired on me,” per The Indian Express.
