Smriti Mandhana Palash Muchhal’s father and fiance rushed to hospital, wedding postponed!
The wedding celebrations going on in Sangli came to an abrupt halt after Shrinivas fell ill. Smriti’s business manager, Tuhin Mishra, said the vice-captain himself decided to postpone the ceremony indefinitely. “Smriti is very close to her father. She has decided that until her father recovers, this marriage will be… postponed indefinitely,” Mishra said, emphasizing the emotional weight of the situation.Doctor Dr. Naman Shah had earlier clarified that Shrinivas was diagnosed with angina and not a heart attack. He reported left-sided chest pain with elevated cardiac enzymes and high blood pressure, requiring immediate hospitalization. In an unexpected twist, Smriti’s fiance Palash Muchhal was also hospitalized shortly after the incident. Palash, suffering from viral symptoms and acidity problems – possibly caused by stress – was treated in Sangli before being flown to Mumbai for rest and further care. His condition, the doctors repeated, was not serious.The emotional strain manifested itself in other ways as well. Smriti removed all wedding-related posts from her Instagram, including the proposal video, sparking speculation online. Close friends and co-stars like Jemimah Rodrigues, Shreyanka Patil and Radha Yadav also deleted related content.Palash’s mother, Amita Muchhal, revealed the depth of his bond with Smriti’s father. “Palash is extremely close to him… when he got sick, Palash immediately insisted on postponing the wedding,” she said. His sister, singer Palak Muchhal, urged fans and the media to respect the families’ privacy.
