Palash Muchhal Hospitalized Following Wedding Postponement
Music composer Palash Muchhal, the fiancé of Indian women's cricket star Smriti Mandhana, was hospitalized due to stress-related health issues after their highly anticipated wedding was indefinitely postponed. The composer is expected to be discharged from Mumbai's SRV Hospital in Goregaon on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, following medical treatment for chest discomfort and breathing difficulties.
Medical Condition and Treatment Details
According to Dr. Dipendra Tripathi, who provided a health update to Mid-day publication, Palash Muchhal's condition appears to be linked to stress-related distress rather than a serious cardiac event. The music composer experienced severe chest pain, uneasiness, and difficulty breathing, prompting immediate medical attention.
Medical professionals conducted comprehensive tests including cardiac investigations such as an ECG and 2D echocardiography. While certain levels showed slight elevation, doctors confirmed there was no indication of a major cardiac or medical emergency. Oxygen therapy was administered as part of the basic treatment protocol for such cases.
Following the initial tests, Palash was moved to a general room where he remained under close medical observation. His condition has since stabilized, leading to the anticipated discharge.
Wedding Postponement and Family Health Crisis
The health crisis unfolded shortly after Palash and Smriti's wedding, originally scheduled for November 23, 2025, was postponed indefinitely. The decision came after Smriti Mandhana's father, Shrinivas Mandhana, fell ill and required hospitalization in their hometown of Sangli.
In a surprising turn of events, Shrinivas Mandhana was discharged from the hospital in Sangli on Wednesday morning, just hours before news broke about Palash's expected discharge from the Mumbai hospital. Despite both men showing recovery, the wedding remains postponed with no new date announced.
Family Reactions and Social Media Speculation
Palash's sudden departure from Sangli sparked widespread speculation about potential relationship troubles between the couple. The rumors intensified when Smriti Mandhana deleted all wedding-related posts from her Instagram account, followed by several of her Indian cricket teammates removing their wedding-related social media posts.
Amid the growing speculation, Palash's cousin Neeti Tak came to his defense through Instagram Stories. She wrote: "Palash is going through a critical condition today. You all should not judge him without knowing the truth... Technology has come far ahead of humans, and people should not form opinions based on rumours. Pray for him."
Palash's mother, Amita Muchhal, provided additional context in an earlier conversation with Hindustan Times, revealing that her son was deeply affected by the news of Shrinivas Mandhana's illness. She explained that Palash shares a close bond with Smriti's father and the news of his health crisis caused significant emotional distress.
"He cried so much that his health suddenly deteriorated," Amita shared. "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."
Recovery and Future Plans
While both Shrinivas Mandhana and Palash Muchhal have been discharged from their respective hospitals, the couple has not announced any new wedding dates. The sequence of events highlights the emotional toll that the family health emergency and subsequent wedding postponement has taken on all parties involved.
The medical team overseeing Palash's treatment emphasized that his condition stabilized quickly with proper medical care, and they expect a full recovery now that the immediate stress factors are being addressed.
