Samgli: The wedding of star Indian women’s cricketer Smriti Mandhana and music composer Palash Munchal has been postponed indefinitely after her father Shrinivas fell ill in the lead-up to the ceremony, which was scheduled to take place here on Sunday.
Mandhana is emotionally attached to her father, who has been a constant source of support in her cricketing journey.
Tuhin Mishra, the manager of Mandhana, said the World Cup-winning cricketer’s father suffered a health complication early on Sunday morning.
Her manager, talking to media, said, ‘Today morning, when he was having breakfast, his health started deteriorating. We waited for a bit to see if he would recover, but his health started to worsen. We didn’t want to take any risk. We called an ambulance immediately, and he was rushed to the hospital.’
‘We all know how close Smriti is to her father. So, Smriti has decided that the marriage will be postponed until her father recovers. He is under observation. Doctors have advised keeping him in the hospital for now. They are conducting various tests. We are all in shock. We hope he recovers quickly. This is a big occasion for all of us.’
He also requested media to be little sensitive about the couple’s privacy.
