Palash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana's wedding

Mandhana and Muchhal’s wedding had been tipped to be a significant occasion, particularly in the glow of India’s recent Women’s World Cup triumph. But the festivities came to an unexpected halt when Mandhana’s father reportedly fell ill on the wedding day -- November 23, prompting a pause in the ceremonies. Mandhana and her Team India mates, who had attended the ceremony, have also removed all wedding-related photos from their social media and refrained from making any statements.
