Indian women’s team opener and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana’s personal life has taken an unfortunate turn, as following the hospitalization of her father, her fiancé, Palash Muchhal, also suffered health issues and was admitted, though the singer has now been discharged.
Mandhana became a World Cup winner earlier this month as India beat South Africa in the final in Navi Mumbai. Soon after, the lefty revealed her relationship with Palash, who is an actor and music composer and brother of famous Indian singer Palak Muchhal.
The duo were to tie the knot on November 23 in Sangli, but the wedding had to be postponed after Smriti’s father, Srinivas Mandhana, was rushed to a hospital with an emergency case on the morning of the wedding day.
Dr. Naman Shah, Director of Sarvhit Hospital, said the blood pressure of Smriti’s father was “elevated” and he is under observation.
Palash Muchhal was hospitalised, reveals mother
With Mr. Srinivas Mandhana hospitalized, the wedding of Smriti and Palash was postponed. The families received further shock when Palash was also admitted to a hospital a day later. His mother, Amita Muchhal, described Palash’s condition, revealing that Palash had cried non-stop after Smriti’s father got ill, and it was he who decided to halt the wedding.
“Palash ko uncle se bahut zyada attachment hai… Smriti se zyada yeh dono close hain. Jab unko hogaya toh Smriti se phele Palash ne decision liya ke usko abhi phere nahi karne jab tak uncle thik nahi ho jaate,” Amita Muchhal told Hindustan Times.
“Since haldi was done, we didn’t let him go outside. Rote rote ek dum tabiyat karab ho gai. 4 ghante hospital mein rakhna padha. IV drip chadi, ECG hua aur dosre tests hoye. Sab normal aaye but stress bahut hai. We have got Palash back to Mumbai now. He is feeling better and resting now… But stress is there.”
