Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana’s wedding with singer and composer Palash Muchhal had to be postponed at the very last moment after a series of unexpected health emergencies that shocked both families. Everything was ready in Sangli for the big day on November 23.
Even though most of the ceremonies were already completed, only the pheras were left. But on the wedding day, Smriti’s father, Shrinivas Mandhana, suddenly felt severe discomfort that looked similar to heart attack symptoms. He was immediately taken to Sarvhit Hospital.

The doctors reportedly said that the incident was likely caused by heavy physical or emotional stress from the busy wedding preparations. Not just that, the groom-to-be, Palash Muchhal, became extremely emotional after seeing Smriti’s father fall ill.
The stress hit him so hard that Palash also had to be taken to a hospital in Sangli. Doctors kept him under observation for a few hours and later confirmed that everything was normal. He has now returned to Mumbai and is resting, as confirmed by his mother.
She also revealed that it was Palash’s decision to put the marriage on hold after Mandhana’s father fell ill. Even all remaining functions for November 24 were also cancelled.

Amrit Muchhal was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times: “Palash ko uncle se bahut zyada attachment hai… Smriti se zyada yeh dono close hain. Jab unko hogaya toh Smriti se phele Palash ne decision liya ke phere nahi karne jab tak uncle thik nahi ho jaate.”
Speaking on what led to the hospitalization: “Rote rote ek dum tabiyat kharab ho gai… Stress bahut hai. They had to keep Palash in the hospital for four hours. IV drip chadi, ECG hua, aur doosre tests hoye. Sab normal aaye, but the stress was just too much.”
She said that the emotional toll has been heavy on both Smriti and Palash. She also noted that Palash had been excited about bringing his bride home and had imagined the moment for weeks. Realizing that everything had to be paused at the last minute left him heartbroken.
Amrita said, “Smriti and Palash dono takleef mein hain… Palash dreamt of coming home with his bride. I had even planned a special welcome. Everything will be fine… Shaadi bohot jaldi hogi.”

Palash’s mother revealed that Smriti’s father had been in a cheerful mood just a day earlier. He had danced, enjoyed the celebrations, and even shared moments on social media. But the next day, while plans were being finalized for the baraat, he suddenly started feeling uneasy.
At first, he tried to ignore it, but when the pain increased, the family immediately called an ambulance. He was then quickly taken to the Sarvhit Hospital and Medical Research Centre in Sangli.
Wedding stress may have triggered a health scare: Doctors
According to the hospital’s director, the early signs were similar to a heart attack, and some of his test results, including his cardiac enzyme levels, were slightly higher than normal.
He has been kept under close observation for now. Doctors have also reportedly mentioned that his blood pressure is a bit higher than it should be, so he needs to be monitored carefully.
This may have been triggered by physical or emotional stress, especially since the family has been busy with the hectic wedding preparations, said the doctors. It is being said that Srinivas is currently stable, but remains in the hospital.
