Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal's wedding was indefinitely postponed on Sunday after the cricketer's father was hospitalized due to a minor heart attack. However, a new twist has now emerged in the story. Smriti Mandhana has deleted all the celebration photos, including those of her mehendi and haldi ceremonies, from her Instagram.
The situation turned even more stressful after Mandhana's father's hospitalization when, the next day, Palash Muchhal was also admitted to a hospital in Sangli. Initial reports raised concerns, but his mother, Amita Muchhal, later confirmed that he has returned to Mumbai and is resting.
