What Happened at the Sangeet?
According to Amita Muchhal, Smriti’s father Srinivas Mandhana was in high spirits during pre-wedding celebrations. He danced enthusiastically throughout the sangeet night and was actively sharing joyful moments on Instagram stories. However, the very next day while planning the baraat procession, he began experiencing discomfort.
Initially, Srinivas didn’t mention his symptoms, but as they worsened, the family called an ambulance. The sudden medical emergency brought all wedding festivities to an immediate halt.
Palash’s Emotional Breakdown
What makes this situation particularly poignant is Palash’s deep bond with his future father-in-law. Amita revealed that Palash shares an exceptionally close relationship with Srinivas—even closer than Smriti’s bond with her father.
When the health crisis occurred, it was Palash who first decided to postpone the wedding, refusing to proceed with the pheras until Srinivas fully recovered. The emotional stress took such a severe toll that Palash was hospitalized for four hours, requiring IV drips and medical tests including an ECG.
Amita shared that after the haldi ceremony, they kept Palash indoors, but he broke down crying continuously. While all medical tests came back normal, doctors confirmed he was under tremendous stress. His sister, renowned singer Palak Muchhal, was spotted visiting him at a Mumbai hospital.
Smriti Mandhana’s Response
Following the postponement, Smriti and her friends deleted all wedding-related photos from their social media accounts, signaling the couple’s decision to pause celebrations until Srinivas recovers. The gesture reflects the family’s priority: health and well-being over ceremony.
Understanding the Decision
This situation highlights the emotional complexity of modern Indian weddings and the importance of family health. Palash’s decision to prioritize his future father-in-law’s recovery over proceeding with the wedding demonstrates maturity and genuine care—qualities that transcend traditional wedding expectations.
