A new twist has emerged in the ongoing controversy regarding the high profile marriage of singer-composer Palash Muchhal and Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana. The ceremony, scheduled for November 23, was postponed and social media discussions have now brought choreographer Nandika Dwivedi into the limelight. According to Once’s Reddit post, the reason for their falling out is a choreographer the would-be groom was involved with, and the Internet has now finally found the rumored choreographer (at least they’d like to think so).
The drama intensified after model Mary D’Costa publicly released screenshots of an alleged conversation where Palash allegedly flirted with her and asked to meet. Soon after, a Reddit post went viral in which another woman claimed that Palash had contacted her for a candid conversation.

Reddit users have now come up with a new angle, claiming that dancer and choreographer Nandika Dwivedi is also involved. A Redditor shared a detailed account alleging that Palash was unfaithful the night before the wedding and was caught in a compromising position with Nandika.
One user wrote in the thread that Palash “has actually cheated and is now paying PR firms to curate these hospital admission news, curating hospital visits and even paying meme pages for whitewashing, but now nothing is working.”

Another part of the same description read that Nandika was tasked by the Bosco team to train Palash for her choreography and Gulnaz was working with Smriti. The user claimed that cricketer Shreyanka Patil had caught Palash and the choreographer and that he was “caught red-handed by Smriti.”
The post further alleged that a heated argument took place between the two families and Smriti’s brother confronted Palash, during which Palash suffered minor injuries. It said his father later suffered chest pain and was taken to hospital. According to the Redditor, when the guests woke up, they were told that the wedding had been canceled due to Smriti’s father’s condition.
According to the same online claims, Smriti was inconsolable and her close ones stayed with him for support. The post also alleged that the choreographer “immediately fled the venue” when the situation escalated.
None of these statements have been verified. Neither Smriti, Palash nor Nandika have issued any public comment.

Who is Nandika Dwivedi?
Away from the rumours, Nandika Dwivedi is a young dancer, choreographer and instructor who is making her career in the industry. As per information available online, she has collaborated with renowned choreographers Piyush Bhagat and Shazia Samji, the duo behind Jacqueline Fernandez and Shikhar Dhawan’s viral hit Besos. She was also the lead dancer in Mansimran’s music video Tere Piche. Nandika was reportedly part of the Bosco dance team and was assigned to train Palash for her wedding choreography session.
Social media users believe this professional connection may have fueled the speculation, although there has been no confirmation from any official associated with the choreography team.
Another report says that Nandika lives in Mumbai and has a B.Com degree from Delhi University. He has also completed MBA from IMT Ghaziabad. She works as a dancer, choreographer and personal trainer and has collaborated with famous names in the industry including Piyush Bhagat and Shazia Samji.
Controversy continues regarding marriage
Speculation over the postponed wedding intensified after Mary D’Costa shared screenshots of the alleged messages and another woman accused Palash of making inappropriate calls on Reddit. These claims remain unverified. Amidst this online investigation, Nandika’s name came into conversation through a Reddit post which did not provide any evidence.
Reports say that he was assigned the task of training Palash for the wedding choreography, while another trainer worked with Smriti. This rumored relationship has emerged solely through social media speculation.
As online discussions continue to grow, fans have expressed disappointment and concern for Smriti Mandhana. His close friends and teammates are reportedly supporting him during this difficult time. With no official statement from the individuals involved, the question remains unresolved. After all, who is Nandika Dwivedi and what is the truth behind her sudden involvement in this controversy?
