One of them read, as written by Muchhal: “From the very start, you’ve been my calm in the chaos, my biggest cheerleader, and the most inspiring soul I know — on the field and off it, You’ve shown me what grace under pressure looks like & what quiet strength truly is. Happiest Birthday Smritzzzzzzzzz.”

“Happiest Birthday to my beautiful girl! You mean everything to me, and I can’t imagine my life without you,” read another now-deleted post.

However, this isn't the first time for Muchhal to remove the old posts. Although he kept several old memories on his social media account, he deleted the viral proposal video and World Cup win celebration.
