Palak Muchhal, the sister of Palash, has addressed the postponement of her brother’s wedding with Indian women’s cricketer Smriti Mandhana.
“Due to Smriti’s dad’s health, Smriti and Palash’s wedding has been put on hold. Would request all of you to respect the privacy of the family in this sensitive time,” she wrote.
She is the first member of the Muchhal family to open up after the wedding was called off.
The wedding was scheduled on November 23 in Sangli, but it didn’t happen after Smriti’s father, Shrinivas Mandhana, suffered health complications. He fell ill during breakfast and was taken to the hospital, where he was kept under observation. She decided to postpone her marriage indefinitely until her father recovers.

Palash Muchhal was also admitted to the hospital after his health deteriorated, but he was discharged after getting treatment.
“Palash is attached to Smriti’s father. When her father was ill, it was Palash before Smriti, who decided that they put the wedding on hold until he recovered,” Palash’s mother, Amita Muchhal, said.
The celebrations lasted a few days, with some members of the Indian women’s cricket team participating in the functions.
With both families prioritising Shrinivas’s health, no new date has been revealed. Both sides have issued statements confirming that the wedding was postponed due to the illness of Smriti’s father.
