Smriti Mandhana Postpones Wedding for Father's Health
Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana has made headlines after she deleted all wedding-related posts from her social media accounts. This decision comes in the wake of her wedding with music composer Palash Muchhal being postponed indefinitely. Originally scheduled to take place in her hometown of Sangli, the ceremony was abruptly put on hold due to her father's sudden health scare.
On the morning of the wedding, Smriti’s father, Shrinivas Mandhana, experienced symptoms of a possible heart issue while having breakfast. His condition worsened, leading the family to call an ambulance. He is currently under observation at a hospital. Smriti’s close relationship with her father has prompted her to prioritize his health over her wedding plans. Her manager, Tuhin Mishra, stated that Smriti wants her father to recover first before proceeding with the wedding.
In recent days, the couple had enjoyed a week-long celebration filled with pre-wedding rituals, including Mehendi, Haldi, and Sangeet. Many of Smriti's teammates from the Indian cricket team participated in these festivities, showcasing a joyful atmosphere. A friendly cricket match, "Bride Team vs Groom Team," and clips of Smriti dancing with her teammates provided fans with a glimpse into her personal life, which she usually keeps private.
However, the swift removal of all wedding-related content from her social media has garnered attention. While some observers speculated about the timing of this cleanup, the majority of online reactions have been supportive. Fans have expressed their empathy and encouraged Smriti to focus on her family during this challenging time.
Palash Muchhal, too, had shared moments from their engagement, including a proposal video filmed at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai. Despite the emotional situation, his social media remains unchanged, as he continues to share glimpses of their journey together.
As Smriti Mandhana navigates this difficult moment, the cricketing community and her fans stand firmly behind her, wishing her father a swift recovery and sending their love and support.
