What was to be a joyful day turned into a moment of panic and uncertainty. On 23 November 2025, just hours before the planned wedding of Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal in Sangli, Maharashtra, tragedy nearly struck. Smriti’s father, Shrinivas Mandhana, suddenly fell ill with what appeared to be heart-attack symptoms — chest pain prompted an urgent hospital admission.
Doctors at the hospital swiftly conducted tests, including an angiography a procedure to check for arterial blockages. Thankfully, the results came back clear: no blockages were found.
By morning of 25 November, Shrinivas had been discharged, declared stable and out of immediate danger. The relief for the family was palpable.
Yet despite this positive turn the wedding remains on hold. No fresh date has been announced by either side.
Why Was the Wedding Called Off and Why Is It Still Postponed?
- The decision to postpone was almost immediate. Smriti’s manager confirmed that she did not want to proceed with the marriage amid a family medical emergency.
- Even though her father has now recovered and regained stability, both families appear to be prioritizing health and emotional well-being over rushing into rescheduled ceremonies. As of now, no new wedding date is on the table.
- Reports suggest that even the groom — Palash Muchhal — was emotionally distressed over the incident. According to media sources, his mother said Palash felt the wedding should not proceed until his future father-in-law’s health was secure.
What’s Changed: The Good News & the Uncertainty
- The best possible outcome has occurred regarding Shrinivas: he is out of hospital, medically stable, and doctors found no cardiac blockages. This is the biggest relief for the family and fans alike.
- But the wedding is
- Social-media developments: It’s reported that Smriti has deleted or archived all pre-wedding posts and photos. Some friends and teammates who had posted about the celebrations also seem to have removed those posts a move that’s understandably fueling speculation.
ublic Reaction & Media Buzz
News of the sudden health scare and last-minute postponement sparked an emotional reaction from fans and followers. Many expressed concern, support, and prayers for Shrinivas’s recovery. Others speculated some with hope, some with doubt about whether and when the wedding would take place.
Meanwhile, media outlets are closely watching the couple’s next move. Given the unusual suddenness of the postponement, some outlets also highlight that the families have requested privacy urging media and fans alike to respect their space during this sensitive time.
What Might Happen Next And Why There’s Still a Long Wait
- The most important thing now is health and recovery. Even though Shrinivas is discharged, the family may want to ensure he’s completely fit before committing to any new wedding date. Rushing could risk his health or dampen what should be a celebratory occasion.
- Emotional readiness matters. Given how deeply affected both Smriti and Palash were by the crisis and reportedly how much Palash cared about Shrinivas’s well-being it might take time for them and their families to feel comfortable returning to wedding mode.
- Privacy & discretion. As of now the families seem to prefer silence; they’ve not shared any new plans publicly. This suggests that any update, if it comes, may be carefully timed and not rushed.
- Fan expectations vs reality. While supporters will continue to hope for a wedding soon, public pressure might also make the families more cautious about doing things on their own timeline.
Conclusion Love, Health and Life’s Unpredictability
The story of Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal’s wedding serves as a reminder: sometimes life’s biggest celebrations must pause for life itself. What began as a day of joy turned into a day of fear — but fortunately, one that ended in relief and recovery.
Although Smriti’s father is now stable and discharged, the wedding remains uncertain. The families, emphasizing health and emotional well-being, seem to prefer patience over haste. For now, what matters most isn’t a wedding date but recovery, privacy, and peace.
For all fans, the hope remains the same: once everything is right, perhaps love will triumph and the postponed vows will find their time.
