Smriti Mandhana Marriage: Palaash Muchhal was supposed to marry Smriti Mandhana on November 23, but their wedding was postponed indefinitely after the bride’s father fell sick. Following this, several reports with different claims and speculations as to why the wedding must have been postponed made headlines. While some accused Palaash of being unfaithful, others claimed that the music composer was caught cheating red-handed by the cricketer just the night before their wedding.
While neither family has issued any statement as of now, Palaash’s sister, Palak, has now broken her silence. In a recent interview, Palak opened up about the scrutiny that Palaash has been facing and admitted that it is a ‘very tough time’ for both families.
“I think the families have been through a very, very tough time and like you just said… I would just want to repeat that we would like to believe in positivity in this time and spread positivity as much as we can. And stay strong… yeah," she told Filmfare.
Why Was Palash’s Wedding With Smriti Postponed?
Palash and Smriti were set to tie the knot on November 23 in Smriti’s hometown of Sangli, Maharashtra. However, their wedding has been postponed indefinitely due to the cricketer’s father’s health. According to reports, Shrinivas Mandhana began experiencing chest discomfort on the morning of the wedding and was immediately taken to Sarvhit Hospital and Medical Research Centre. The family decided to call off the celebrations as doctors conducted tests and stabilised his condition.
The emotional strain extended to Palaash as well. His mother told Hindustan Times that the singer shared a very close bond with Smriti’s father, and the situation deeply affected him. “He cried so much that his health suddenly deteriorated. They kept him in the hospital for four hours. He was given an IV drip, an ECG was done, and other tests were carried out. Everything came back normal, but he is under a lot of stress," she said.
Recently, both Smriti and Palaash made subtle changes to their Instagram bios and added the nazar emoji. While they haven’t issued any statement as of now, the emoji is a symbolic gesture to ward off negativity.
