The much-anticipated wedding of music composer Palash Muchhal and Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana has been put on hold following a sudden health emergency in the family. The ceremony, which was scheduled to take place on 23 November in Sangli, has been postponed indefinitely, according to a statement released by the families.
Smriti Mandhana’s father reportedly experienced a medical complication and was admitted to the hospital, prompting the immediate decision to pause all wedding preparations. The families shared that the situation required complete attention and emotional support, making it impossible to go ahead with the planned celebrations.
Singer Palak Muchhal, sister of Palash, also addressed the development and requested privacy for both families. She emphasised that this is a sensitive time and urged fans and the media to avoid speculation. Her message reflected the emotional strain the families are experiencing and their need for space while focusing on the health and recovery of their loved ones.
The wedding had already generated significant attention online, with several pre-wedding events such as mehendi and celebrations shared across social media. These posts, however, were removed or archived after the health emergency, signalling the families’ intent to keep the situation private.
Fans of both Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal have expressed their support on social media, sending prayers for the family’s well-being. Many praised the couple for choosing to prioritise health over ceremony, calling the decision thoughtful and compassionate.
While no new wedding date has been announced, both families have assured that the ceremony will take place only when everyone is ready and the situation has stabilised. For now, the focus remains firmly on recovery and family support.
