New details surrounding composer Palash Muchhal and cricketer Smriti Mandhana’s wedding controversy have revealed that Palash was admitted to a Mumbai hospital a day before their wedding due to exhaustion and anxiety-related stress.
According to a report in Mid-Day, the music composer was rushed to hospital after experiencing “severe chest pain and shortness of breath”.

Doctors who treated Muchhal at SRV Hospital in Goregaon West told Mid-Day that his condition was stress-related rather than any major cardiac event.
“Muchhal’s condition appears to be related to stress related stress rather than a serious cardiac event,” said Dr. Dipendra Tripathi, one of the doctors treating Muchhal.
“Doctors performed key heart tests”
After being admitted to SRV Hospital, Palash reported severe chest pain, restlessness and difficulty in breathing. Doctors then performed key heart tests, including an EKG and 2D echocardiography.
“Although certain levels were found to be slightly elevated, there is no indication of a major cardiac or medical intervention,” the doctor said.

“As a basic line of treatment in such cases, oxygen therapy was started immediately. After initial stabilization, Palash was moved to the general room and closely monitored,” the doctor added.
Based on the clinical findings and his response to treatment, doctors suspect that the episode was largely caused by stress-related stress, compounded by the anxiety surrounding the situation.
Muchhal was later advised to rest for three weeks as Dr Dipendra Tripathi said there was “no sign of a serious emergency”.
“Muchhal is now stable”
According to the report, Muchhal was first admitted to a hospital in Sangli where he was given first aid based on the complaints he had reported at that time.
However, as his symptoms persisted, he was taken to SRV Hospital, a facility known to his family for the past 10 to 15 years, late on Monday evening.
Hospital authorities confirmed on Wednesday that Muchhal is now stable and doing well.
Although he was due to be released from hospital on Wednesday, doctors have advised him to rest for at least three weeks to ensure a full recovery and prevent a recurrence of symptoms.
The update came a day after it was revealed that Smriti’s father, Shrinivas Mandhana, had been discharged from Sarvhit Hospital on November 25.
Smriti Mandhana, Palash’s wedding controversy
On the day of the wedding, Smriti Mandhana’s father, Shrinivas Mandhana, suddenly fell ill and was rushed to the Sarvhit Hospital and Medical Research Center in Sangli after suffering heart attack-like symptoms. Palash and Smriti were set to tie the knot on November 23.
Palash was also admitted to a hospital in Sangli a day later. Palash’s mother told Hindustan Times that Palash was very close to Smriti’s father and when he fell ill, Palash decided that they should not go ahead with the wedding rituals until he got better.
Smriti deleted all wedding-related posts from her Instagram, which sparked rumors among social media users. Smriti and Palash started dating in 2019, keeping their relationship largely private until July 2024, when they went public by sharing an anniversary photo celebrating five years together.
‘cheating rumor’
When Palash and Smriti’s wedding was called off at the last minute, online rumors claimed that Palash Muchhal was cheating on Smriti Mandhana, though neither of them confirmed anything.
Screenshots shared on Reddit and Instagram allegedly showed him flirting with a woman named Mary D’Costa.
He allegedly invited her for a swim, a trip to the spa and an early morning walk on Versova Beach. In the chats, he also mentions that his long-distance relationship is “sucking” and that they only meet once every three to five months.
We have asked ChatGPT to verify the authenticity of the viral chat screenshots that claim Palash Muchhal allegedly cheated on Smriti Mandhan. Apparently this is a woman named Mary D’Costa.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) agreed to the analysis “purely from a technical and behavioral point of view”. “This is not a verdict as neither Smriti Mandhana nor Palaash Muchhal has confirmed anything,” it said.
