Palak Muchhal confirmed that her brother Palash Muchhal and cricketer Smriti Mandhana have postponed their wedding. They were supposed to get married on Sunday at Smriti’s home in Sangli, Maharashtra. However, Smriti’s father suddenly fell ill and had to be taken to the hospital, so the families decided to stop all the wedding functions for now.
Sharing the update on Instagram, Palak wrote, “Due to Smriti’s father’s health, Smriti and Palash’s wedding has been put on hold. We would request all of you to respect the privacy of the families during this sensitive time (sic).”
Smriti’s manager, Tuhin Mishra, revealed that her father’s condition worsened early Sunday morning while he was having breakfast. “Smriti’s father, Mr. Shrinivas Mandhana, was having breakfast this morning, and his health started deteriorating. We waited thinking he would recover soon, but it didn’t improve. So we thought not to take any risk and called an ambulance, and he has been taken to the hospital. He is under observation,” said Mishra.
“Smriti is very close to her father. So, she has decided to postpone the marriage, which was going to happen today, till her father is fine. The doctor has said he (Mandhana’s father) will have to be in the hospital for the time being. We are also in shock and hope that he recovers quickly because it’s a big occasion for everyone,” he added.
“So, Smriti is very clear, she wants her father to be okay first, and later she will get married. I would request you to respect the family’s privacy at this time,” said Mishra.
Earlier in the day, reports also surfaced that groom-to-be Palash Muchhal had been taken to the hospital after feeling unwell late on Monday. He was reportedly diagnosed with a viral infection along with severe acidity. Thankfully, his condition wasn’t serious, and after receiving treatment, he was discharged and returned to his hotel.
