Mandhana was earlier set to tie a knot on November 23 but the wedding was postponed after her father fell ill and was taken to the hospital. Now days later she released the statement about calling off her wedding and requested for privacy at the time.
“Over the past few weeks there has been plenty of speculation around my life and I feel it is important for me to speak out at this time. I am a very private person and I would like to keep it that way but I need to clarify that the wedding is called off. I would like to close this matter here and implore all of you to do the same. I request you to please respect the privacy of both families at this time and allow us the space to process and move on at our own pace,” Mandhana’s post read.
