Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal wedding postponed: Here’s what we know

The fairy-tale wedding fans had been eagerly awaiting took an unexpected turn, leaving cricket followers and Bollywood circles buzzing with questions. Indian cricket star Smriti Mandhana, known for her calm presence on the field, suddenly found her private life thrust into the spotlight after her wedding to music composer Palash Muchhal was postponed indefinitely.

The ceremony, planned for November 23 in her hometown of Sangli, India, had already seen days of joyful celebrations. Traditional pre-wedding rituals — from Mehendi and Haldi to a lively Sangeet — had taken place, attended by several of Mandhana’s teammates from India. Lighthearted moments, including a fun cricket match between the bride’s and groom’s sides and dance videos featuring Mandhana and her colleagues, had delighted fans who rarely get a glimpse into her personal world.

But everything shifted overnight when her father experienced a sudden health problem, prompting both families to halt the wedding plans. Palash’s sister and singer Palak Muchhal shared a statement on Instagram, “Due to Smriti’s dad's health, Smriti and Palash’s wedding has been put on hold. Would request all of you to respect the privacy of the families in this sensitive time.”

What drew even more attention was Mandhana’s swift decision to remove all wedding-related posts from her social media accounts — from ritual photos to engagement moments she had previously shared.

With no official word beyond the health update, speculation on social media grew rapidly. Many users began floating unverified narratives, ranging from alleged private messages to conspiracy-style claims about the couple’s relationship. Despite the noise online, there has been no confirmation from either family regarding any of these allegations.

Adding to the concern, Palash Muchhal was also reported to have been hospitalised a day after the postponement. He was first treated in Sangli before being moved to a hospital in Mumbai, further intensifying public curiosity about the situation. Interestingly, while Mandhana wiped her social platforms clean of wedding content, Palash still retains their proposal video and other romantic posts.

For now, all confirmed information points to health-related reasons behind the delay. With both families choosing privacy during a sensitive period, the swirling rumours remain exactly that — rumours. Fans continue to hope for clarity and, more importantly, a smooth recovery for everyone involved.
