Smriti-Palash Wedding postponed due to back-to-back health emergencies
The high-profile wedding of Indian women’s cricket star Smriti Mandhana and music composer Palash Muchhal was scheduled to take place on 23 November. However, the ceremony was postponed at the last moment after two unexpected medical emergencies struck both families.
On the wedding day itself, Smriti’s father, Shriniwas Mandhana, fell ill and had to be admitted to hospital. A day later, Palash was also rushed to a hospital in Sangli, Smriti’s hometown, before being shifted to Mumbai for further treatment. Both have now been discharged.
Mandhana’s manager officially confirmed that the wedding delay was solely due to medical emergencies and not due to any personal or family conflict.
Smriti Mandhana’s Instagram clean-up adds to public curiosity
Following the postponement, Smriti removed all wedding-related posts from her Instagram profile. Only casual photos with Palash remain visible. Palash has also kept his profile low-key in recent days.
Just when fans thought the episode might settle, the appearance of the evil eye emoji in both their bios reignited discussions. Supporters interpreted it as a sign of protecting their relationship from unwanted attention, while others simply felt it was a quiet, symbolic gesture of unity.
Support from cricketing fraternity
In a heartfelt show of support, Team India batter Jemimah Rodrigues withdrew from the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) to be by Smriti’s side during this emotionally difficult moment. The postponement came soon after India’s Women’s World Cup victory, where Smriti played a pivotal role in the team’s success, making the situation even more emotionally charged for fans.
Wedding to take place soon
Palash’s mother, Amita Muchhal, remains optimistic and emotionally hopeful about the celebration ahead. Speaking to Hindustan Times, she shared:
“Smriti and Palash both are worried… Palash dreamed of coming home with his bride. I had even planned a special welcome… Everything will be fine, shaadi will be very soon.”
Fans wait for the new wedding date
For now, both families are fully focused on health and recovery. The postponement has temporarily halted what was set to be one of the most talked-about weddings of the year, uniting two prominent personalities from the worlds of sports and music.
With the couple receiving overwhelming support from friends, colleagues and admirers, fans continue to wait, with love and patience, for the announcement of the new wedding date.
