Indian women’s cricket team vice-captain Smriti Mandhana was preparing to marry music composer Palash Muchhal in Sangli on November 23. The family had completed arrangements and planned the ceremonies, but the celebrations stopped suddenly on Sunday morning when Smriti’s father, Srinivas Mandhana, fell ill during breakfast.
What seemed like a minor health issue quickly became serious, leading the family to rush him to a nearby hospital. Doctors are monitoring his condition closely. Smriti’s manager confirmed that she has postponed the wedding indefinitely as the cricketer decided to focus completely on her father’s health.

Smriti Mandhana Removes All Wedding Posts From Instagram
Shortly after the postponement, Smriti Mandhana removed all wedding-related posts from her Instagram account (@smriti_mandhana), surprising fans who had been following the updates closely. Her manager, Tuhin Mishra, said the wedding will take place only after her father fully recovers.
Earlier, Smriti had announced the ceremony through a light-hearted reel featuring teammates Jemimah Rodrigues, Shreyanka Patil, Radha Yadav and Arundhati Reddy.
The reel is no longer visible on her profile, and it remains unclear whether she deleted it or temporarily hid the content. The unexpected removal of the posts led to widespread speculation online.
Palash Hospitalised:
According to new reports, Palash has also been taken to the hospital. On Monday, November 24, it was revealed that shortly after Smriti’s father Shrinivas, became ill ahead of the ceremony, which was scheduled to take place in Sangli on Sunday, Palash was also admitted to the hospital.
Based on the information available, Palash’s condition deteriorated, and he required medical care. He was sent to a private hospital because of a viral illness and elevated acidity, according to NDTV. Fortunately, things weren’t too bad. Palash was released from the hospital after receiving treatment and has already gone back to the hotel.
Palash Muchhal’s Proposal Post Still Visible Online
While Smriti’s posts have disappeared, Palash Muchhal’s proposal video remains available on his Instagram account (@palaashmuchhal). He had proposed to Smriti at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, where she recently played a key role in India’s ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 victory.
Palash shared the video on November 21, and it continues to draw attention from fans. The clip shows the proposal moment that became widely shared on social media before the wedding plans were halted. His post remains unchanged, marking a contrast with the sudden removal of all updates from Smriti’s profile.
