Why was Smriti Mandhana and Palash Mucchal’s Wedding Postponed?
The Muchhal–Mandhana wedding, which was supposed to take place on November 23 in Sangli, got postponed under very unforeseen circumstances. As per various reports, Smriti Mandhana’s father suffered a sudden health scare and was subsequently hospitalised. This triggered a chain reaction, reportedly affecting Muchhal’s health, too, owing to stress-related complications.
While the details have remained closely guarded by the families, the health emergency has prompted the couple to indefinitely delay their wedding. The sudden shift had surprised fans and the entertainment and sports circles alike, as the preparations for a wedding were so highly publicised.
How Severe Was Smriti Mandhana’s Father’s Health Scare?
Smriti’s father was reportedly rushed to the hospital following a critical health issue, though the family has not publicly disclosed the exact nature of his condition. Sources indicate the situation was severe enough to warrant immediate medical attention, forcing the family to prioritise his recovery over wedding festivities.
The incident naturally caused tremendous stress for both Smriti and Palash. In fact, it was also one of the main reasons the couple had decided to postpone the wedding, as health and family welfare were important considerations over any public or media expectations.
How Did Social Media React to the Postponement?
After the postponement was announced, Smriti Mandhana cleared her social media profiles of all the wedding-related posts, including the pictures of pre-wedding shoots and videos of her engagement. This further led to speculation over the reasons for the delay.
Although the posts were taken down, Muchhal and Mandhana have maintained their silence and have not spoken against the rumours. This silence, along with the sudden postponement, has led to curiosity and concern amongst fans.
What Did Palash Muchhal’s Airport Appearance Reveal?
Muchhal appeared at Mumbai airport in an all-black attire and was seen holding a book. He was accompanied by family members and security personnel. His mother was also seen interacting with people at the arrival point.
Though surrounded by cameras, Palash maintained a subdued demeanor-acknowledging photographers with a polite nod but refraining from engagement or interviews. It is a low-key approach that suggests a privacy preference, while signalling he is stepping back into public life after a tough period.
