Just a day after Smriti Mandhana`s wedding with music composer Palaash Muchhal was indefinitely postponed, the Indian women`s cricket team vice-captain has removed all her wedding-related posts from Instagram. Their much-anticipated wedding was postponed after her father, Shrinivas Mandhana, suffered “symptoms of heart attack” and was admitted at Sarvhit Hospital in Sangli, Maharashtra on Sunday.

After the wedding was postponed, fans noticed that Smriti had removed all wedding-related content, including her viral proposal and engagement video from her Instagram feed. Additionally, her close friends and teammates, Jemimah Rodrigues and Shreyanka Patil, who had also shared glimpses from the wedding festivities, have also removed the video featuring them, in which Smriti had confirmed the engagement.
However, previous posts with Palash remain on her timeline. As reported earlier, Smriti`s father was hospitalised a day after the sangeet festivities, where he was seen joyfully dancing. He has reportedly been kept under observation. Additionally, earlier on Monday, reports of Palaash also being admitted to a hospital also emerged. However, he was discharged soon.

The couple were set to take their six-year relationship to the next phase by tying the knot. The wedding festivities had created a major buzz among fans, and was expected to be attended by several members of the Indian women`s cricket team and the cricket fraternity.
Both Palaash and Smriti had announced the engagement in separate Instagram posts, which soon went viral among the fans. Smriti, along with teammates, shared a candid reel and dance on the popular Bollywood song Samjho Ho Hi Gaya from the movie Lage Raho Munna Bhai. On the other hand, Palaash had shared a video of proposing to the cricketer inside a cricket stadium.
Smriti played a crucial role in helping India create history after the team won their first Women`s World Cup title. The vice captain amassed 434 runs from nine matches, marking the second-highest after South Africa skipper Laura Wolvaardt`s 571 from the same number of matches. Smriti also scored a century and a couple of half-centuries as she opened the innings for India at the Women`s World Cup 2025.
