In a surprising turn of events, the wedding of Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana and her fiancé Palash Muchhal has been postponed due to a serious health scare involving Mandhana’s father, Shrinivas. On Sunday, Shrinivas was rushed to the hospital with symptoms resembling those of a heart attack, leading the family to make the difficult decision to delay the highly anticipated ceremony, originally scheduled for November 23 in Sangli.
The situation took an emotional toll on both families, particularly on Palash, who also found himself needing medical attention shortly after Shrinivas’s hospitalization. His mother, Amita Muchhal, revealed that Palash was deeply attached to Shrinivas, stating, “Palash ko uncle se bahut zyada attachment hai… Smriti se zyada yeh dono close hain.” The emotional distress connected to Shrinivas’s health condition was significant enough to prompt Palash to insist that they should not proceed with the wedding until Shrinivas was better.
Describing the troubling circumstances leading to Shrinivas’s hospitalization, Amita recounted how he had been in high spirits just a day prior, capturing happy moments dancing and sharing their wedding preparations on social media. However, during the planning of the baraat, he experienced sudden discomfort, prompting an ambulance call for help. Doctors later indicated that his symptoms were likely exacerbated by the stress tied to the ongoing wedding arrangements.
With only the pheras left to be completed when the reality of the situation set in, both Smriti and Palash faced deep disappointment amid the emotional stress. Amita recalled Palash’s dreams of bringing his bride home, sharing her own plans for a beautiful welcome that have now been put on hold. However, through this challenging time, Amita remains optimistic, stating, “Everything will be fine… shaadi bohot jaldi hogi.”
While the abrupt postponement of the wedding undoubtedly casts a shadow over the celebrations, the love and support between the families during this trying time reflect a hopeful outlook for the couple’s future together. As they navigate this emotional period, there is a sense that better days are ahead.
