What was supposed to be a celebratory week suddenly turned into an atmosphere of complete silence. Indian women’s cricket team vice-captain Smriti Mandhana had planned to tie the knot with musician Palash Muchhal on 23 November, but fate took an unexpected turn.
According to reports, the wedding was postponed after Mandhana’s father fell seriously ill, followed by Palash Muchhal also suffering a sudden health issue, leading to his hospitalization.
The private ceremony in Sangli, Maharashtra, had already gathered close family and invited guests, but the celebrations were abruptly halted.
Smriti Deletes Every Photo From Her Event Timeline
Smriti Mandhana is known for her active presence on social media. Over the past weeks, her Instagram had been filled with cheerful moments from the pre-wedding events.
But after the back-to-back medical emergencies, she deleted all her photos related to the celebrations.
Why fans noticed immediately:
- No pre-wedding posts remain on her feed
- Her teammates’ tagged photos now show “post unavailable”
- Mandhana has not issued any public statement yet
A source close to the family said:
“Smriti is deeply upset. She had been sharing beautiful moments, but circumstances changed overnight.”
Fans Wonder: Did the ‘Evil Eye’ Strike Her Happiness?
The sudden chain of misfortunes led many fans to discuss whether the cricketer’s moment of joy was overshadowed by the “evil eye.”
People online commented:
“Bad Nazar is real. Everything was going too well for Smriti.”
“World Cup win, wedding excitement… maybe too much happiness at once.”
Smriti Mandhana had recently been in the spotlight after India’s Women’s Cricket World Cup victory, followed by massive attention on her upcoming marriage.
But within 24 hours, both major joys—family celebration and wedding—came to an unexpected pause.
What Happens Next?
While the family has not shared a new wedding date, sources indicate that celebrations will be planned only after both her father and Palash Muchhal recover fully.
Fans across the country are wishing speedy recovery to both families and hoping to see the couple begin their new journey soon.
