According to reports, Smriti’s father Shrinivas Mandhana was discharged from Sarvhit Hospital on the morning of November 25. He had been admitted two days earlier after experiencing heart attack-like symptoms on what was supposed to be the wedding day.
Hospital officials confirmed that his condition is now stable. An angiography was conducted and no blockages were detected, which brought relief to the Mandhana family. Shrinivas was under observation in Sangli, the cricketer’s hometown.
Despite his recovery, both families have decided not to reschedule the wedding immediately. No fresh date has been announced.
Palash Muchhal was also hospitalised amid emotional stress
In a surprising turn of events, a day after Shrinivas’s hospitalisation, groom-to-be Palash Muchhal was also admitted to a hospital in Sangli before being shifted to Mumbai for further care. The exact nature of his condition is yet to be officially clarified.
Palash’s mother reportedly told Hindustan Times that he had been extremely emotional after Shrinivas fell ill. She said his health deteriorated suddenly due to stress and he required IV fluids, ECG monitoring and additional tests. Although results were normal, doctors advised rest.
According to her, Palash insisted that wedding rituals be paused until Smriti’s father recovered fully, as he shares a close bond with him.
A relationship under public attention
Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal have been in a relationship since 2019, but they kept it private for years. They confirmed their relationship publicly only in July 2024, when they shared a photo celebrating five years together.
With the wedding postponed, fans noticed that Smriti has removed all wedding-related posts from her Instagram, adding to speculation. However, neither family has issued any statement hinting at trouble, and sources emphasise that the postponement is solely due to health concerns.
Families maintain silence on new wedding date
As of now, both sides have stated that no new wedding date has been finalised. With Shrinivas recovering and Palash’s health yet to be clearly updated, the families are choosing to prioritise well-being over ceremonies.
The couple’s supporters across the country have expressed empathy and wished both families good health.
Conclusion
The much-anticipated Mandhana-Muchhal wedding stands postponed indefinitely after back-to-back health emergencies involving the bride’s father and the groom. While both are reportedly stable, the families have opted for caution before deciding on the next steps. An announcement regarding a new date is expected only after full recovery and clarity on the health situation of both families.
