What was supposed to be a high-profile wedding is now a matter of suspense and rumours. Weeks after India won the Women’s World Cup, one of the main architects of the triumph, Smriti Mandhana, was to wed music composer Palash Muchhal on November 23. That did not take place. On the day of the wedding ceremony, Smriti’s father, Shrinivas, fell ill and had to be taken to the hospital. The next day, even Palash was admitted to a hospital in Sangli (Smriti’s hometown) and was later shifted to Mumbai. The cricketer’s business manager announced that the wedding was postponed due to the health emergency.
What led to the intrigue of social media users was that Smriti deleted all wedding-related posts from her Instagram account, though some casual photos of her with Palash still remain. Both Smriti’s father and Palash have been discharged from the hospital, but the new wedding date is yet to be announced by the two families.
In the midst of this, social media is abuzz with Smriti and Palash updating their Instagram bio with the ‘nazar’ emoticon.
