Amid Smriti Mandhana’s Marriage Controversy, Palash Muchhal’s Doctor Reveals He Had ‘Stress-Related Distress’

What began as a much-anticipated wedding between cricket star Smriti Mandhana and music composer Palash Muchhal has turned into a whirlwind of medical emergencies and rumours. Initially, the celebrations were thrown into disarray when Smriti’s father was hospitalised with heart attack symptoms. Shortly after, Palash too was admitted to a hospital, sparking intense speculation around his well-being. Amid swirling rumours, allegations of Palash cheating on Smriti surfaced online, sparking debates about the incident’s impact on the wedding plans.

Doctor’s Update on Palash Muchchal’s Hospitalisation

According to hospital sources, Palash was admitted due of chest pain, breathing difficulties and uneasiness symptoms that alarmed his family, given the earlier scare with Smriti’s father. 

But after thorough medical tests like ECG and echocardiography, doctors concluded there was no serious heart malfunction. Instead, the diagnosis pointed to “stress-related distress”.

As per the medical update:

• His cardiac markers were only slightly elevated, not enough to confirm a heart attack. 
• He was given oxygen support, monitored closely, and then shifted to a general ward as his condition stabilised. 
• By late November 26, 2025, the hospital confirmed that Palash had been discharged and advised him to take complete rest for at least three weeks for full recovery. 
• This clarifies that while he was indeed hospitalised, the reason appears emotional and stress-linked and not heart disease.

Smriti’s Wedding Controversy with Health Scare and Rumours

The drama began on November 23, 2025, the scheduled wedding day, when Smriti’s father, Shrinivas Mandhana, developed sudden chest pain and was rushed to the hospital. As a result, the families decided to postpone the wedding indefinitely. Soon after, rumours began swirling on social media, some alleging that Palash had cheated on Smriti, or that there was family fallout. These speculations gained traction when pre-wedding photos from Smriti’s social media were deleted.

The wedding controversy escalated following the release of purported leaked chats involving Palash and a woman named Mary D’Costa. These messages hinted at a potential breakdown in Palash and Smriti’s relationship, causing social media frenzy and widespread speculation linking the alleged infidelity to the postponement of the wedding. Despite the turmoil, Palash’s sister, singer Palak Muchhal, stepped up publicly to defend him, urging people to respect the couple’s privacy and not jump to conclusions.

Yet, none of those claims has been substantiated. Palash’s mother, while talking to the press, asserted that emotional distress over the father’s illness caused his collapse, not any infidelity or scandal.
