Smriti Mandhana’s Father ‘Experienced Heart Attack Symptoms, Which Halted Her Marriage

Indian women’s cricket star Smriti Mandhana and musician Palash Muchhal have put a hold on their wedding, at least temporarily. The report comes after a serious health scare involving her father, Srinivas Mandhana. According to reports, he developed symptoms of a heart attack just as wedding preparations were underway. The decision to pause the nuptials reflects her deep bond with her father and prioritises his well-being above all.

Thanks to quick action, he was rushed to a hospital and is currently stable and under continuous medical observation. This unexpected emergency led to the immediate postponement of the wedding, reminding everyone just how quickly life can change.

What Happened To Smriti Mandhana’s Father?

Dr Naman Shah, Director of Sarvhit Hospital in Sangli, told the media that Mr Mandhana began experiencing pain on the left side of his chest, a classic warning sign. He was swiftly rushed to the hospital, where initial tests showed elevated cardiac enzymes, suggesting possible damage to the heart muscle. 

Despite his worrying symptoms, Dr Shah says there were no immediate changes on the echocardiogram. The cardiology team has placed him under close monitoring, including continuous ECG and possibly angiography, to further investigate his heart health. Medical experts believe that the physical and mental stress of final wedding preparations may have contributed to the episode.
