According to family sources and media reports, Palash Muchhal developed a viral infection alongside severe acidity as the pre-wedding festivities were underway. His condition worsened on the day following Srinivas Mandhana’s health scare, prompting an urgent trip to a private hospital. Medical sources say his condition was not life-threatening, and he was discharged after treatment and rest.

Smriti Mandhana’s Father’s Health Crisis 

Smriti’s father, Srinivas Mandhana, started feeling unwell early that morning during breakfast, complaining of pain on the left side of his chest. According to hospital doctors, his symptoms resembled angina, a condition often linked to coronary artery issues. 

He was quickly taken to Sarvhit Hospital in Sangli, where his cardiac enzymes were found to be slightly raised. Although his echocardiogram did not show any major changes, doctors have kept him under careful observation.

How These Events Put the Wedding on Hold

With a series of health emergencies for the family, they have paused their wedding plans. The initial concern began when Smriti’s father complained of chest pain and other classic heart attack symptoms during a meal at the family home. Doctors confirmed angina pectoris, a condition linked to coronary heart disease, and he remains in the hospital under close watch. These two emergencies led the Mandhana and Muchhal families to cancel all remaining wedding functions and postpone the ceremony indefinitely.

The wedding, which was scheduled for November 23 in Sangli, Maharashtra, was expected to be an intimate event with close friends, family, and several of Smriti’s cricket teammates. Now, families are prioritising health and calling for privacy as both Srinivas Mandhana and Palash Muchhal recover.
