However, the wedding was cancelled due to sudden hospitalization cases in their family. Shortly after Srinivas Mandhana, father of Smriti Mandhana, fell ill on November 23, 2025, reports emerged that the vice captain's fianc was also rushed to a hospital in Sangli for a certain medical check-up. The filmmaker and singer was later transferred to Mumbai hospital.
For the first time, Amita Muchhal, mother of Palash Muchhal, opened up about the reason behind his son's hospitalization. In an interview with a leading media outlet, Palash Muchhal's mother said that his son's well-being deteriorated after Smriti Mandhana's father was hospitalised, just two days ahead of Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal's wedding. Explaining the close bond the singer has with Srinivas Mandhana, his mother said, "Palash is very attached to his uncle."
"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 (Palash is extremely attached to Smriti's father The two of them are even closer than Smriti is with him. When he fell ill, it was Palash, before Smriti, who decided that they should not go ahead with the wedding rituals until he gets better)."
Amita Muchhal further revealed that her son was deeply affected by the health report of Smriti Mandhana's father. She said, "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 (He cried so much that his health suddenly deteriorated. They kept him in the hospital for four hours. He was given an IV drip, an ECG was done, and other tests were carried out. Everything came back normal, but he is under a lot of stress)."
Explaining the physical condition of his son, Amita Mucchal continued, "Ek din phele unhone bahut dance kiya. Woh bahut zyada khush the Instagram pe Stories dal rahe the. Uske baad jab hum baraat ki planning kar rahe the, unko takleef hui. Phele toh unhone bataya nahi but jab badne lagi, ambulance bulai (A day earlier, he had been dancing a lot. He was extremely happy, even posting Stories on Instagram. But later, while we were planning the baraat procession, he started feeling discomfort. At first, he didn't say anything, but when it worsened, we called an ambulance).
"Smriti and Palash dono takleef mein hai aur upset hai (They are undergoing a tough time) Palash dreamt of coming back home with his bride Smriti, and it couldn't happen. I planned a special welcome for Smriti and cancelled all the functions which were planned for today (November 24) now."
