Palash Muchhal’s cousin sister DEFENDS the singer; urges people to ‘not judge’ him after wedding with Smriti Mandhana gets postponed

Palash Muchhal’s wedding with Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana was set to be a grand affair on 23 November. Fans were eagerly waiting for the couple to tie the knot. However, celebrations came to an unexpected halt just hours before the ceremony as Smriti’s father, Shrinivas Mandhana, developed heart attack‑like symptoms and was rushed to a hospital in Sangli. The sudden medical emergency forced both families to postpone the wedding indefinitely.

Cousin urges public not to judge Palash

Amid the resulting speculation, Palash’s cousin Neeti Tak has now broken her silence. Taking to Instagram, she posted a statement addressing the swirling rumours and urging the public to refrain from making assumptions about Palash.




She wrote in her post,“Palash is going through a critical condition today, you all should not judge Palash as wrong without knowing the truth… Technology today has come much ahead of humans, that is why people should not judge Palash in the face of rumours… pray for him."

Earlier, Neeti had also shared photos and videos from the couple’s pre-wedding festivities. The images captured happy moments, showing the couple surrounded by family and friends, celebrating in style before the sudden crisis.

Smriti Mandhana’s deleted wedding photos raised eyebrows

Her message has emerged amid online chatter after fans noticed that Smriti deleted her engagement announcement reel from Instagram. The original video featured teammates Jemimah Rodrigues, Shreyanka Patil, Radha Yadav, and Arundhati Reddy dancing with her, and ended with Smriti’s subtle reveal of her engagement ring — a confirmation of her relationship with Palash.

Palash emotionally affected by father-in-law’s health

The emotional strain extended to Palash as well. His mother told Hindustan Times that the singer shared a very close bond with Smriti’s father, and the situation deeply affected him. She said, “He cried so much that his health suddenly deteriorated. They kept him in the hospital for four hours. He was given an IV drip, an ECG was done, and other tests were carried out. Everything came back normal, but he is under a lot of stress."
