Music composer Palaash Muchhal has been discharged from the hospital, his team confirmed, a day after he was admitted due to exertion and stress following the postponement of his wedding with cricketer Smriti Mandhana. He was first hospitalised in Sangli and later shifted to SRV Hospital in Goregaon, Mumbai, where doctors deemed him fit enough to go home.
Palaash’s hospitalisation came shortly after he returned from Sangli, where the wedding had been halted due to unexpected medical emergencies in both families. The ceremony was postponed after Smriti’s father, Shrinivas Mandhana, was admitted to hospital on the wedding day following a reported heart attack. On the same day, Palaash also fell ill with acidity and a viral infection, leading to his own hospital admission.
According to NDTV and Hindustan Times reports, Palaash chose to postpone the wedding after learning about Smriti’s father’s condition. His mother, Amita Muchchal, shared how deeply the news affected him. She said, “Palaash ko uncle se bahut zyada attachment hai… Smriti se zyada yeh dono close hain. Jab unko ho gaya toh Smriti se pehle Palaash ne decision liya ke usko abhi phere nahi karne hain…jab tak uncle theek nahin ho jaate.“
Amita further revealed that Palaash broke down upon hearing about Shrinivas Mandhana’s condition. Detailing the emotional moment, she said, “The haldi was done, so we didn’t let him go outside. Rote rote ekdum tabiyat karab ho gayi. Four ghante hospital mein rakhna pada. IV drip chadhi. ECG hua aur doosre tests hue. Sab normal aaye but stress bahut hai.“
Reports state that despite all medical tests returning normal, the emotional strain took a toll on the musician, prompting doctors to keep him under observation before discharging him.
So far, both Palaash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana have not released an official statement regarding the postponed wedding. The families are currently prioritising recovery and well-being as they navigate this difficult time.
