The much-awaited wedding of Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana and music composer Palash Muchhal has been delayed because of an unexpected family emergency. Smriti’s father, Srinivas Mandhana, had a heart attack while the wedding preparations were going on at the Mandhana Farm House in Samdol, Sangli, as confirmed by her business manager, Tuhin Mishra.

Mr. Mandhana was quickly taken to a private hospital in Sangli, where he is receiving urgent medical care. People close to the family said that Smriti Mandhana and her close relatives immediately went to the hospital after getting the news.

How is Mr. Mandhana now?

The family has shared that Mr. Mandhana is now stable and being closely monitored, giving them a bit of comfort in this challenging moment. The wedding team announced to the media that today’s ceremony has been cancelled. A new date for the event has not been decided yet.

“Today in the morning when he was having breakfast, Smriti Mandana’s father, Mr. Srinivas Mandhana, got unwell. We waited for a while. We thought that maybe it’s normal, he will be fine. But he was getting worse. So we thought, let’s not take any risk, so we called an ambulance and took him to the hospital. Now he is under observation,” Smriti’s manager said.
