Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana and music composer Palaash Muchhal were set to tie the knot on Sunday. However, the wedding had to be postponed after Smriti`s father`s health deteriorated when he exhibited “heart attack–like” symptoms. He was rushed to the hospital, where he is currently undergoing treatment. The wedding has been postponed indefinitely.
Palaash Muchhal gets hospitalised
Reportedly, after Smriti`s father fell ill, her fiancé Palaash also became unwell. According to a report in NDTV, Palaash had to be taken to a hospital after his health deteriorated. However, it is not a serious matter. He sought treatment for a viral infection and increased acidity. The report claims that Palaash has been discharged from the hospital after receiving timely care.
About Smriti`s father`s health
Smriti`s father, Shrinivas Mandhana, was transferred to Sarvhit Hospital and Medical Research Centre in Sangli in the morning.
According to Dr. Naman Shah, Director of Sarvhit Hospital, Smriti`s father experienced symptoms of a heart attack. He attributed the cause to “physical or mental stress” due to hectic activities during the wedding season.
Speaking to the media, Dr. Naman Shah said, “Srinivas Mandhana, Smriti Mandhana`s father, experienced symptoms of a heart attack around 11:30 after feeling left-sided chest pain. He was immediately transferred to Sarvhit Hospital and Medical Research Centre in Sangli for further assessment. Despite his slightly raised cardiac enzymes, he requires ongoing observation. Our cardiologist, Dr. Rohan Thanedar, has examined him as well. There are no new findings on the echocardiogram. However, he may need continuous ECG monitoring and, if necessary, angiography. Currently, his blood pressure is slightly elevated, so he needs continuous monitoring. It could be due to physical or mental stress, perhaps because it is wedding season with a lot of hectic activity.”
Tuhin Mishra, the manager of Smriti Mandhana, confirmed that the wedding has been “postponed indefinitely” due to her father`s health concerns.
Speaking to the media, Tuhin Mishra said, “Smriti is very clear that she wants her father to recover first and then resume the wedding. It has been indefinitely postponed.”
