The much-anticipated wedding of Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana and musician Palash Muchhal, scheduled for November 23rd in Sangli, has been indefinitely postponed due to back-to-back health emergencies in the Mandhana family and subsequent emotional distress for the groom.

1. Smriti Mandhana's Father Hospitalized

The primary reason for the halt of the ceremony was the sudden illness of Smriti Mandhana's father, Mr. Shrinivas Mandhana:

• Emergency: On the morning of November 23rd, Mr. Mandhana experienced symptoms resembling a heart attack, specifically left-sided chest pain (diagnosed as angina pectoris).

• Medical Update (Sarvhit Hospital, Sangli): Doctors confirmed he was admitted to Sarvhit Hospital and Medical Research Centre in Sangli. While his initial ECG showed no new concerning findings, his cardiac enzymes were slightly elevated, and his blood pressure was high.

• Diagnosis: Doctors attributed his symptoms primarily to "physical or mental stress" from the hectic wedding preparations.

• Family Decision: Smriti Mandhana made it clear that she would not proceed with the wedding until her father fully recovered. Palash's mother confirmed that Palash was the first to insist the wedding be postponed, showing his close attachment to his future father-in-law.

2. Palash Muchhal's Hospitalization

Following the news of Mr. Mandhana's health, groom Palash Muchhal also required medical attention:

• Cause: Palash was overwhelmed by the emotional stress and attachment to Smriti's father, which led to him breaking down. His mother, Amita Muchhal, stated that the stress caused his health to deteriorate suddenly.

• Treatment: He was briefly kept under observation, given an IV drip, and had tests (including an ECG) at a hospital in Sangli. His tests came back normal, confirming the issue was primarily severe emotional stress and exhaustion. Some reports also mentioned viral infection and increased acidity.

• Current Status: Palash has since returned to Mumbai to rest and recover. His sister, singer Palak Muchhal, was seen visiting him at a hospital (reportedly SRV Hospital in Mumbai) as he continued his recovery.

3. Current Status of the Wedding

• Postponement: The wedding is indefinitely postponed.

• New Date: No new wedding date has been announced by either family. The priority remains the full recovery of Mr. Shrinivas Mandhana.

• Request for Privacy: Both families, through Palak Muchhal's social media post, have officially requested the public to respect their privacy during this sensitive time.

We wish Mr. Shrinivas Mandhana and Palash Muchhal a speedy recovery.
