Smriti Mandhana Postpones Wedding Due to Father's Health Emergency

Smriti Mandhana Postpones Wedding Due to Father's Health Emergency

Post by : Maya Rahman

Indian women's cricket sensation Smriti Mandhana had to unexpectedly postpone her wedding ceremony on Sunday as her father experienced sudden chest pain reminiscent of heart attack symptoms. The medical emergency caused alarm at the wedding venue, prompting an immediate ambulance call. He was swiftly transported to a local hospital for urgent care. Due to this incident, the festivities had to be halted. Smriti prioritized her father's well-being and opted not to proceed with the ceremony in his absence.

In a further twist, Smriti’s fiancé, Palash Muchhal, also required hospitalization after feeling unwell. Reports indicate he was suffering from a viral infection along with high acidity but thankfully, his condition is stable. He has since been treated and discharged, relieving both families.

Father's Health Under Vigilant Care

Dr. Naman Shah, the family doctor, provided updates on Mr. Srinivas Mandhana’s condition. He stated that by 1:30 pm, Mr. Mandhana reported left-sided chest pain, classified as angina. As soon as the symptoms appeared, his son contacted the doctor. A medical team acted swiftly, and he was taken to the hospital.

Preliminary tests including an ECG indicated elevated cardiac enzymes, signaling heart strain that necessitates careful monitoring. His blood pressure was notably high, and doctors are currently working to manage it. Dr. Shah mentioned that if his condition doesn’t improve, they might need to perform angiography to investigate further.

Medical staff are supervising him throughout the day, and if progress is stable, discharge could be imminent. Smriti and her family maintain constant communication with the medical team, ensuring they are near him during this trying time.

Prior to this unforeseen health scare, a week-long celebration was underway in Sangli, Smriti's hometown in Maharashtra. The wedding was highly anticipated by friends, family, and fans, with many rituals already performed before the main ceremony, set for Sunday. However, following Mr. Mandhana’s sudden health crisis, the family decided to halt all ongoing events.

The wedding date is now postponed indefinitely, contingent on her father's recovery. The families have resolved to resume celebrations only once he is completely stable. Smriti insists she will not proceed until her father can attend.

A Challenging Time for the Families

This episode has been extraordinarily taxing for Smriti Mandhana and both families. What was to be a week of joy has morphed into an atmosphere of anxiety and concern. Nonetheless, Smriti and Palash remain composed, concentrating on the well-being of their families. They are also grateful that Palash’s condition is not severe and he is on the mend.

The cricket community and fans nationwide are sending their best wishes for the rapid recovery of Smriti’s father. Many commend her commitment to her family during such a crucial period in her life.

For the moment, the timeline for resuming wedding celebrations hinges on her father's health and recovery. Until then, all arrangements remain suspended.
