Event company’s message fuels fresh speculation
The postponement of cricketer Smriti Mandhana and singer-composer Palash Muchhal’s wedding has drawn renewed attention after the event management company overseeing the celebrations posted a cryptic message online.
Krayonz Entertainment, responsible for the high-profile ceremony, shared an Instagram note last week, shortly after festivities came to an abrupt stop. The post reads: “We don’t cross the finish line in every match of life that we play, but it’s always the sportsman spirit that counts. Our team played hard, with joy and pride, and they all certainly deserve a mention. Will see you soon champion.”
The message has gone viral, prompting mixed reactions, some praising its supportive tone, others interpreting it as a hint about the couple’s plans.
Wedding halted amid health emergencies
Mandhana and Muchhal were due to marry on 23 November, with pre-wedding functions already under way. The Mehendi and Haldi ceremonies had taken place and circulated widely on social media. However, celebrations stopped when Mandhana’s father fell critically ill on the wedding day and was admitted to hospital. The following day, Muchhal was also hospitalised in Sangli, Mandhana’s hometown, before being shifted to Mumbai.
A representative for the cricketer confirmed that the wedding had been postponed due to medical concerns affecting both families.
Online frenzy after Smriti removes photos
The situation escalated further when Mandhana deleted all her wedding pictures from Instagram, triggering a wave of speculation.
Both families have since clarified that the delay is solely due to health issues and not linked to relationship troubles. Mandhana’s father and Muchhal have been discharged, though no new wedding date has been set.
In response to the mounting online chatter, the couple updated their Instagram bios with the nazar emoji, an action that only sparked more theories.

Families call for privacy
Muchhal’s mother, Amita, has expressed hope that the wedding will go ahead, while his sister Palak used Instagram to urge the public to refrain from assumptions and respect their privacy. Mandhana’s brother, Shravan, also addressed the rumours, telling HT that no new plan is in place and the wedding remains postponed.
Mandhana skips scheduled appearance
Amid the ongoing attention, Mandhana missed a planned shoot for Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 with Amitabh Bachchan. Several teammates are still expected to appear in the upcoming episode this Friday.
