Palash Muchhal makes first airport appearance after Smriti Mandhana’s wedding postponement, evades media – video goes viral
Mumbai (The Uttam Hindu): Amidst reports of the sudden postponement of the wedding of Indian women's cricket team star Smriti Mandhana and filmmaker Palash Muchhal, Palash's first public appearance has created a lot of buzz. This is the first time Palash Muchhal has been seen in public after the wedding was postponed. He was spotted at the airport, a video of which is rapidly going viral on social media. In the video, Palash is seen dressed in black, accompanied by his mother and security personnel.
When the paparazzi at the airport tried to capture him on camera, Palash completely ignored the media. He walked away quickly, his eyes downcast, without speaking to anyone. His behavior has drawn mixed reactions from social media users. While some questioned, writing, "Only those who make mistakes steal glances," many fans defended him, saying that he looked distressed and depressed, so they should leave him alone and respect his privacy during this sensitive time.
It's worth noting that Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal's wedding was scheduled to take place on Sunday, November 23, 2025, in Maharashtra. All wedding preparations were complete, but a medical emergency at the last minute forced the wedding to be postponed indefinitely. Smriti's manager, Tuhin Mishra, stated that Smriti's father's health suddenly deteriorated during breakfast on Sunday morning. Initially, it was thought he would recover, but when his condition worsened, he had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital, where he is currently under the close supervision of doctors.
The manager clarified that Smriti is very close to her father and has made it clear that the wedding will not take place until he is completely healthy. At present, the Mandhana family's father's health is more important than the wedding celebrations. Fans and well-wishers are respecting the family's decision and wishing Smriti's father a speedy recovery.
