Smriti Mandhana Removes All Wedding Posts with Palash Muchhal After Indefinite Postponement

A day after her wedding with music composer Palash Muchhal was indefinitely postponed, Indian cricket star Smriti Mandhana deleted all wedding-related posts from her social media accounts, shifting public focus from celebration to concern.

The ceremony, originally scheduled for Sunday in Mandhana’s hometown of Sangli, was called off after her father, Shrinivas Mandhana, experienced a sudden health scare. According to her manager, Tuhin Mishra, Mandhana’s father showed symptoms of a possible heart issue early Sunday morning. His condition prompted the family to rush him to a hospital, where he remains under observation.

“Smriti is very clear — her father’s health comes first. She will get married only once he recovers,” Mishra said, requesting privacy for the family during this difficult time.

The wedding celebrations had already been underway, with pre-wedding rituals including Mehendi, Haldi, and Sangeet completed. Several of Mandhana’s India teammates — Jemimah Rodrigues, Radha Yadav, Shafali Verma, Arundhati Reddy, Shivali Shinde, and Richa Ghosh — attended the festivities. A friendly “Bride Team vs Groom Team” cricket match and videos of Mandhana dancing with teammates had given fans a rare glimpse into her personal life.

Following the postponement, Mandhana removed all posts and photos related to the celebrations, including engagement moments and behind-the-scenes clips. Fans have responded with empathy, urging her to prioritize family and wishing her father a speedy recovery.

Muchhal had also shared glimpses of their engagement, including a proposal video at Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium, where Mandhana recently starred in India’s Women’s World Cup victory.
