Wedding Day Turns Chaotic as Palash Muchhal Falls Sick After Mandhana’s Father’s Heart Emergency

Indian women's cricket team vice-captain Smriti Mandhana was to get married to music director Palash Muchhal on November 23. The family and close relatives were ready. The marriage of both of them was scheduled at 4:30 pm, but just a few hours before, the situation became such that the entire program had to be stopped. Smriti herself took this decision after the health of her father and Palash deteriorated.

Why did Smriti's father's condition suddenly deteriorate on the day of the wedding?

At around 1.30 pm, Smriti's father Srinivas Mandhana felt severe chest pain. The pain was increasing continuously, so he was immediately taken to Sarvahit Hospital in Sangli. Doctors examined him and told him it was a heart attack. After this the cardiologist and medical team kept him under observation. According to the information received from the hospital, his condition is stable but he will have to stay in the hospital for a few days. Doctors also said that this condition could arise due to mental stress and running around in wedding preparations.

Why did Palash Muchhal suddenly have to be taken to the hospital?

Even before Smriti's father's condition got better, Palash Muchhal's health also started deteriorating. He experienced problems like high acidity and viral infection. The team also took him to the hospital as a precaution. After examination, the doctors clarified that his condition was not serious. After some medicines and tests, he was discharged and returned to his hotel. His health is now said to be fine.

How did Smriti Mandhana decide to postpone her marriage?

The ill health of both father and fiancé on the same day was a big blow for Smriti. The family immediately discussed and agreed that it would not be appropriate to marry in such a situation. Smriti also decided to go ahead with the marriage, citing her father's health as her priority. The family says that the new date of marriage will be decided after the father's recovery.

What do the doctors say?

Hospital doctor Naman Shah said that Srinivas Mandhana reached the hospital on time; otherwise, the situation could have worsened. He is being constantly monitored, and it will take a few days for him to recover completely. According to doctors, at present his condition is stable, and there is nothing to worry about.

The entire day was emotional and stressful for Smriti and both the families. However, it is a matter of relief that the health of both is improving and they are expected to recover soon.
