The much-awaited wedding of Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana and composer-filmmaker Palash Muchhal, scheduled for this Sunday in Sangli, has been postponed. The decision came after Mandhana’s father, Shriniwas Mandhana, fell ill, prompting both families to pause preparations and shift their complete focus towards his treatment and recovery.
Wedding Called Off as Families Shift Focus to Health
Wedding preparations had reached their final stages when concerns arose over Shriniwas Mandhana’s health. Smriti’s manager, Tuhin Mishra, confirmed that the families took a mutual, respectful decision to delay the ceremony. With guests informed and arrangements halted, the families are now prioritising medical care and privacy.
Friends from cricket, Bollywood and the music fraternity have extended support, acknowledging that family health must come before celebrations. No new date has been discussed yet, and the couple is expected to revisit plans only after the family feels emotionally ready.
