Emotional Stress Puts Palash Muchhal in Mumbai Hospital

New Delhi, November 25, 2025: The wedding celebrations of music composer Palash Muchhal and cricketer Smriti Mandhana have been overshadowed by a series of health scares, leading to the indefinite postponement of their much-anticipated nuptials. Following a medical emergency involving Smriti’s father, the groom-to-be, Palash, also required hospitalisation due to severe emotional stress.

Palash Muchhal has now been shifted from Sangli to a hospital in Mumbai, where his mother, Amita Muchhal, shed light on the emotional turmoil that led to his condition.

A Profound Bond Led to Distress

Speaking to the media, Amita Muchhal confirmed that the postponement of the wedding was a mutual decision, first insisted upon by Palash himself. The cause of his distress, she revealed, was the sudden illness of his father-in-law, Srinivas Mandhana, who was rushed to the hospital with heart-attack-like symptoms on the day the wedding was scheduled to take place.

“Palash is extremely attached to Smriti’s father,” Amita Muchhal explained. “The two of them are even closer than Smriti is with him. When he fell ill, it was Palash, before Smriti, who decided that they should not go ahead with the wedding rituals until he gets better.”

The Toll of Emotional Strain

The gravity of the situation hit Palash hard. His mother tearfully recounted the moments leading up to his hospitalisation, revealing the intense emotional pressure he was under.

“He cried so much that his health suddenly deteriorated,” she stated. “They had to keep him in the hospital for four hours. An IV drip was administered, an ECG was done, and other tests were carried out. Everything came back normal, but the stress was just too much.”

Doctors who attended to Smriti’s father in Sangli suggested that his symptoms might have been triggered by the “physical or mental stress” of the hectic wedding preparations. Ironically, the emotional fallout from this event caused similar stress-related symptoms for Palash, forcing him to seek medical attention shortly after.

Recovering in Mumbai

Following his brief stay in a hospital in Sangli, Palash has been brought back to Mumbai. His mother confirms that he is now “resting and recovering” but acknowledges that the emotional setback is significant. His sister, singer Palak Muchhal, was also seen visiting him at the Mumbai hospital.

Palak Muchhal has issued a statement requesting privacy for both families during this sensitive time, emphasising that the wedding has been put on hold solely due to Mr. Mandhana’s health.

The families remain focused on the recovery of both Palash Muchhal and Srinivas Mandhana. While an emotional moment, this difficult time highlights the deep emotional connection between the two families. Though the couple’s dream wedding is on hold, Amita Muchhal remains hopeful, saying, “Everything will be fine… the wedding will happen very soon.”
