The highly anticipated wedding of India’s star cricketer Smriti Mandhana and music composer Palash Muchhal was unexpectedly put on hold after a medical emergency struck Smriti’s family. The couple was scheduled to tie the knot on 23 November 2025 in Sangli, Maharashtra, with close family and friends invited for an intimate celebration.
Preparations were in full swing, but everything came to an abrupt stop when Smriti’s father, Srinivas Mandhana, fell ill. According to reports, he complained of severe chest discomfort and was rushed to a nearby hospital for immediate treatment.
His sudden health scare prompted both families to unanimously decide that the wedding must be postponed until he fully recovers. Sources close to the family shared that the situation created tremendous emotional strain, and Smriti remained by her father’s side through the entire episode.
Palash Muchhal Also Hospitalised Days After Her Father’s Health Scare
Adding to the tense atmosphere, another unexpected twist unfolded when Palash Muchhal, Smriti’s to-be husband, was also admitted to a hospital shortly after the senior Mandhana’s health incident.
Reports indicate that Palash suffered from a bout of viral infection combined with severe acidity, leading to dehydration and discomfort. Though his condition created fresh concern for both families, the good news is that Palash recovered quickly and was discharged after receiving proper treatment.
Insiders revealed that the dual health emergencies within days of each other left the families mentally exhausted. While Palash’s illness was not critical, it was enough for the families to realise that proceeding with wedding rituals amid such circumstances would be overwhelming for everyone involved.
Wedding Postponed Indefinitely as Families Prioritise Recovery
In light of the back-to-back medical situations, both the Mandhana and Muchhal families decided to indefinitely postpone the wedding. Their primary focus now is ensuring that Smriti’s father returns to stable health and that Palash is completely fit. A representative close to the couple mentioned that new wedding dates will only be considered once the family is emotionally ready and medically comfortable. For now, both families have appealed for privacy, urging fans and media to respect the sensitive circumstances.
Despite the sudden halt, the couple is reportedly positive and committed, emphasising that their families’ well-being comes before celebrations. Fans across the country have poured in good wishes for a speedy recovery for both Smriti’s father and Palash, while eagerly awaiting updates on the rescheduled ceremonies.
