Music composer Palash Muchhal made his first public appearance on Monday since his wedding to cricketer Smriti Mandhana was abruptly postponed last month and he himself suffered a health scare.
✈️ Airport Appearance
Palash was spotted at the airport alongside his mother, Amita Muchhal, and other family members.
- Attire: He was dressed casually in a black pajama, black shirt, and jacket, and was seen holding a book as he exited the airport with security personnel.
- Demeanour: Despite the recent turmoil and swirling rumors on social media, he maintained a low profile but did not attempt to avoid or evade the paparazzi who were present.
💔 Wedding Postponement and Health Concerns
The highly anticipated wedding, scheduled for November 23, was indefinitely postponed due to back-to-back health emergencies in both families:
- Smriti’s Father’s Health: Smriti Mandhana’s father, Shriniwas Mandhana, was rushed to the hospital on the wedding day after experiencing heart-attack-like symptoms, which ultimately led to the wedding being put on hold.
- Palash’s Health: Just a day later, Palash was also admitted to a hospital in Mumbai, with his condition later clarified as “stress-related distress” rather than a serious cardiac event, as confirmed by Dr. Dipendra Tripathi.
Palash’s mother, Amita Muchhal, later confirmed that the decision to halt the rituals was made by Palash, who is emotionally very attached to Smriti’s father.
🤫 Silence Amidst Rumours
The sudden postponement, coupled with the brief hospitalizations, has fueled intense speculation on social media, including unverified rumors about alleged infidelity.
- Both families have stressed that the delay is solely due to the health emergencies.
- The couple has added a “nazar” (evil eye) emoji to their respective social media bios, which fans interpret as a symbolic gesture of unity against the negative attention and rumors.
- The couple has yet to make any public statement addressing the unverified speculation.
Palash and Smriti’s families are currently focused on health and recovery, with a new wedding date yet to be announced.
