On the wedding day, cricketer Smriti Mandhana’s father, Shrinivas Mandhana, fell ill and was rushed to Sarvhit Hospital and Medical Research Centre in Sangli after he suffered heart attack-like symptoms.

A day later, music composer Palash Muchhal was also admitted to a hospital in Sangli. Palash’s mother told Hindustan Times that Palash is very close to Smriti’s father and when he fell ill, Palash decided they should not go ahead with the wedding rituals until he gets better.

She added, “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 revealed that Palash has returned to Mumbai from Sangli and is now recovering at home. She also added that the couple is under a lot of stress.

Meanwhile, Smriti has deleted all wedding-related posts from her Instagram, shifting public attention from celebration to concern.
