Singer Palak Muchhal has appealed to fans and the media to respect the privacy of both families after the wedding of her brother, music composer Palash Muchhal, and Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana was put on hold. The highly anticipated ceremony, which was scheduled to take place this week, has been postponed due to a sudden health emergency in Smriti Mandhana’s family.
In her statement, Palak Muchhal explained that Smriti’s father has been hospitalised following a health complication. She shared that the families are going through an emotionally sensitive period and that their focus is entirely on ensuring proper care and recovery. Palak emphasised that this is not the right time for speculation or unnecessary attention, requesting everyone to allow the families space to deal with the situation peacefully.
The news of the wedding postponement quickly spread online, as fans had been eagerly awaiting updates about the ceremony. Both Palash and Smriti had participated in several pre-wedding rituals, and glimpses of their celebrations had gained traction across social media platforms. However, after the health emergency, many of the related posts were removed or archived, indicating the families’ desire to maintain privacy.
Palak Muchhal, known for her philanthropic work and contributions to music, expressed gratitude to fans for their concern but reiterated that the well-being of loved ones comes first. She added that once the situation stabilises, the families will share any further updates at an appropriate time.
The postponement has drawn supportive reactions from fans and cricketers, many of whom have sent wishes for a speedy recovery. Several social media users have also praised the families for prioritising health over celebration, calling the decision both responsible and compassionate.
As the families continue to manage the situation, Palak’s request serves as a reminder that public figures too have private struggles that deserve respect and sensitivity.
