The internet is abuzz with two separate controversies involving celebrities Palaash Muchhal and Kapil Sharma. One involves resurfaced photos igniting relationship speculation, while the other concerns the safety of a business venture abroad.
Palaash Muchhal, the singer and composer, is currently facing a social media storm after old photos of him with a former girlfriend went viral. This comes on the heels of the postponement of his wedding to Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana. The wedding, which was scheduled for November 23, was reportedly postponed due to Smriti's father's sudden health issues, who experienced heart attack-like symptoms and was hospitalized. Palaash also reportedly felt unwell amidst the crisis.
The resurfaced photos show Palaash with a woman identified by netizens as Dr. Birva Shah, a plastic surgeon. One widely circulated image depicts Palaash on one knee in what appears to be a proposal setting, leading to speculation that he may have been engaged before his relationship with Smriti. The photos are believed to be from 2017.
Adding fuel to the fire, Smriti Mandhana has removed her engagement announcement video from her Instagram profile. The video featured her teammates, including Jemimah Rodrigues, dancing alongside her and subtly revealing her engagement ring. It's been claimed that her teammates have also removed the reel from their pages as well. Some reports also allege that screenshots showing Palaash flirting with another woman have circulated online.
Neither Smriti nor Palaash have directly addressed the resurfaced photos or online allegations. Both families have requested privacy during this time. Palaash's sister, Palak Muchhal, issued a statement clarifying that the wedding was only put on hold due to Smriti's father's health.
In other news, comedian and actor Kapil Sharma has spoken out about the multiple shooting incidents at his Canada-based café, Kap's Café, located in Surrey, British Columbia. The café was attacked three times, the first occurring shortly after its launch in July, followed by incidents on August 7 and October 16. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in any of the shootings.
Speaking at the trailer launch of his upcoming film Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2, Kapil addressed the incidents, maintaining a calm and humorous outlook. He revealed that the shootings were discussed in the Canadian Parliament and prompted law-and-order action. Kapil also stated that the incidents drew significant attention, prompting authorities to enhance law and order in the area.
Associates of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, specifically Kulveer Sidhu and Goldy Dhillon, claimed responsibility for the attacks in a social media post. Dhillon's post, roughly translated from Punjabi, warned the owner to "learn how to speak respectfully".
Despite the alarming nature of the incidents, Kapil shared that his café has thrived, experiencing increased patronage after each shooting. He humorously concluded that "if God is with you, everything is fine". Kapil also expressed that he feels safer in India, praising the Mumbai Police for their efficiency.
