Watch: Smriti Mandhana Skips KBC 17 Shoot With Team India Amid Cancelled Wedding, Cheating Rumours Against Fiancé Palaash Muchhal

An alleged scandal has unfolded right before Indian cricket star Smriti Mandhana was to wed her fiancé, singer-composer Palaash Muchhal on November 23. The couple hosted their haldi, mehndi and sangeet ceremony but on the eve of their nuptials, Smriti's father Shrinivas experienced heart-attack like symptoms and was hospitalised. Smriti and Palash put their wedding on hold and in fact, shortly after, Palaash too was admitted. Smriti ended up deleting all her wedding related posts on Instagram, signaling a clean slate.

On Wednesday (November 26), team India stars, some of whom attended Smriti's wedding functions, arrived on the set of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 to shoot a special episode dedicated to team India's maiden Women's World Cup win.

Meanwhile, Amol Mujumdar, the head coach of the Indian women's cricket team, and players Sneh Rana, Shefali Verma, Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh and Harmanpreet Kaur were snapped on the set of KBC 17 as they posed for the paparazzi. Smriti was part of the guest line up but choose to skip the show this time around, further strengthening rumours that all is not well between her and Palaash.
