Music composer Palash Muchhal has deleted all photos of Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana from his Instagram account, triggering renewed speculation about the status of their relationship. The move comes amid unverified allegations of infidelity that have been circulating widely on social media, which Muchhal has previously denied.

Fans were quick to notice the sudden change on Sunday, as Muchhal’s Instagram feed—once filled with affectionate moments, birthday wishes, and celebratory posts featuring Mandhana—appeared completely wiped of any trace of the cricketer. The digital purge has only intensified rumours surrounding their reported separation, especially following reports of their cancelled wedding.

The couple, who had reportedly been together for nearly five years, were seen as one of the more low-key and private celebrity pairings. Over a dozen photos, including holiday pictures and milestone celebrations, have now been removed from Muchhal’s profile. Adding further fuel to speculation, the two are also no longer following each other on Instagram.

This development follows a wave of online claims accusing Muchhal of cheating, allegations that remain unverified. While the composer has earlier dismissed such accusations, neither he nor Mandhana has issued an official statement clarifying the current state of their relationship or addressing the social media activity.

Smriti Mandhana, vice-captain of the Indian women’s cricket team and one of the sport’s most recognisable global figures, has consistently kept her personal life away from the spotlight. Her relationship with Muchhal—brother of popular singer Palak Muchhal—offered fans a rare glimpse into her life beyond cricket.

With neither party breaking their silence, the reasons behind the Instagram wipeout remain speculative. Whether the move signals a temporary fallout or a definitive end to their long-term relationship is unclear. In today’s social-media-driven celebrity culture, however, such digital cleanups are often seen as a telling sign of deeper changes behind the scenes.
