Following Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) historic second title win in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026, Smriti Mandhana’s mother, Smita Mandhana, has sparked a social media frenzy. The buzz follows a now-deleted Instagram post directed at music composer Palash Muchhal. RCB-W Win WPL 2026, Delhi Capitals Women Suffer 4th Consecutive Defeat in Finals.

The social media stir began shortly after Mandhana led RCB to victory, claiming the Player of the Match award in a six-wicket win. Amid the nationwide celebrations, Smita Mandhana’s activity on Instagram caught the eye of eagle-eyed fans.

The tension stems from the abrupt end of Smriti and Palash’s relationship in late 2025. The duo was scheduled to marry in Sangli on November 23, but the wedding was called off at the last minute.
