Amid Wedding Row, Palaash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana Update Bios With ‘Evil-Eye’ Emoji, Leaving Fans Guessing

Palaash Muchhal and Indian cricket star Smriti Mandhana have once again triggered social media buzz after fans noticed a subtle yet significant change in their Instagram bios. At a time when the couple is already at the centre of intense public speculation, the latest update has fuelled fresh curiosity among followers.

What Changed in Their Bios?

Both Palaash and Smriti recently added the evil-eye (nazar) emoji to their Instagram bios. While the update is small, its meaning was not lost on fans who have been closely monitoring developments around their postponed wedding.

The timing of the change — coming just days after the couple pushed their wedding plans forward — has made the gesture even more noticeable.

Meaning Behind the Evil-Eye Emoji

The evil-eye or nazar symbol holds cultural significance across many communities. It is widely believed to offer protection from negativity, jealousy and unwanted attention. In today’s digital world, users often add this emoji to their profiles as a way of signalling the desire to ward off bad vibes.

In the case of Palaash and Smriti, the addition of the emoji appears to be a quiet message to the public:
they are seeking privacy, positivity and emotional space amid rising pressure, rumours and speculation.

Why the Wedding Was Postponed

Palaash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana were initially set to marry on November 23. However, the ceremony was postponed at the last minute when Smriti’s father reportedly suffered a sudden medical emergency and had to be hospitalised.

Out of respect for the situation, both families mutually decided to delay the wedding until his condition improves.

Shortly after the postponement, Smriti removed all wedding-related posts — including engagement images and pre-wedding celebrations — from her social media accounts. This unexpected move confused fans and led to a wave of unverified rumours, including baseless cheating speculations circulating online.

Families Clarify: ‘Wedding Not Cancelled’

Sources close to both families confirmed that the marriage has not been cancelled, only postponed until the situation at home stabilises. Amid the emotional strain, Palaash was also reportedly unwell and advised to rest, adding to the couple’s need for privacy.

With both facing intense public scrutiny, the addition of the evil-eye emoji appears to be their subtle way of shielding themselves from negativity and reclaiming some peace until they are ready to share updates.
