India opener Smriti Mandhana’s wedding with Palash Muchhal was indefinitely postponed due to the sudden hospitalization of the former’s father on Sunday (November 23).

An ambulance was sent to the wedding venue quickly after Mandhana’s father developed heart attack-like symptoms, and was soon admitted to a local hospital.

The medical emergency in the family brought the wedding festivities to a halt, with the cricketer deciding against moving forward with the ceremony in her father's absence.

Now, a report published by NDTV claims that even Smriti's fiancé Palash had to be taken to a hospital after his health deteriorated.

“Palash had to go to a private hospital for treatment due to a viral infection and increased acidity. However, the issue wasn't serious. In fact, after receiving treatment, Palash has already departed the hospital for the hotel,” the report stated, citing sources.

Meanwhile, Smriti Mandhana's family doctor, Dr. Naman Shah, said a medical team is monitoring the health condition of her father.

"At around 1.30 pm, Mr Srinivas Mandhana got left-sided chest pain, we call it 'angina' in medical terms. As the symptoms surfaced, his son called me, we sent an ambulance, he was shifted to hospital. We found out in ECG, other reports, that cardiac enzymes are elevated, hence we need to keep him in observation," Shah told PTI.

"Blood pressure is also elevated, efforts are on to lower it. The whole team is monitoring. If situation exacerbates, we will have to do angiography. Smriti and her family are in contact with us."

A week-long celebration was already going on in Sangli, Mandhana's hometown in Maharashtra, ahead of the much-anticipated marriage knot ceremony on Sunday.

As far as the wedding ceremony is concerned, the entire function was postponed indefinitely. The revised wedding date will depend on the swiftness of her father’s recovery.
