Amid the fallout of Palaash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana’s cancelled wedding, actress Daisy Shah has shared her thoughts on the situation—and expressed hope that the two reconcile.The actress, who is set to collaborate with Palaash on his upcoming directorial, opened up about the controversy and why she chose to keep her personal and professional views separate.
Palaash avoided reaching out directly amid controversy
Daisy revealed that Palaash hesitated to approach her personally for the project following the controversy surrounding his personal life.“I got 2–3 calls from random people saying that there is a film that Palaash is making, and he wants me to be a part of the film. I was like Palaash knows me personally because I am really good friends with Palash’s sister Palak, so I was thinking if Palash wants to speak to me, he will contact me directly, or he would message me through Palak so why am I getting a message from a random person?” she told Miss Malini.The actress, who shares a close bond with his sister Palak Muchhal, eventually reached out to him herself.“So, I happened to drop a message to Palash, asking about the same, and he said, ‘yeah ma’am this is true, but because of the situation lately, I am not calling personally anybody because it might go on a different tangent altogether’,” she added. The two later connected for a narration, and Daisy agreed to be part of the film.
‘I don’t mix personal and professional life’
When asked if the controversy made her sceptical about working with him, Daisy maintained a balanced stance.“I can switch off from personal life to professional life, and I don’t think your personal life should affect your professional life. First of all, I don’t know what is the actual story,” she said.“There are always two sides to a coin. We really don’t know what went wrong because it is between two families, we are sitting here and judging from what we heard from the media houses. We don’t know what is the actual truth, and that doesn’t mean that I am nullifying the woman side of the story. I’m just being neutral. Also, he contacted me on a professional level. So, who am I to even judge a book by its cover?,” she added, stressing that she prefers not to judge without knowing the full truth.
‘I hope they come together again’
Daisy also spoke about Palaash and Smriti as a couple, expressing optimism about their future.“I hope everything gets well on both sides, and they come together because they actually make a lovely pair,” she said.For the unversed, Palaash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana were set to tie the knot on November 25, 2025, with pre-wedding festivities already underway. However, the wedding was called off just a day before the ceremony, initially due to the ill health of Smriti’s father. Later, reports suggested that the split may have been triggered by infidelity.Both Palaash and Smriti later confirmed via social media that the wedding had been called off.
