In a surprising and emotional development, Indian women’s cricket star Smriti Mandhana has indefinitely postponed her wedding after her father, Shrinivas Mandhana, reportedly experienced heart attack–like symptoms on Saturday.
According to sources, the family rushed him for immediate medical attention after he complained of severe chest discomfort. Doctors are monitoring his condition closely, and the family has chosen to pause all celebrations until he fully recovers.
Family Prioritizes Health Over Celebrations
A person close to the family shared that Mandhana was deeply worried and decided that proceeding with any event at this moment would be inappropriate.
“Right now, the only priority is his health. Wedding plans can wait,” a family acquaintance reportedly said.
The wedding, which was expected to be a private affair, has now been placed on an indefinite hold.
Fans Shocked; Prayers Pour In
Social media quickly flooded with support from fans and fellow cricketers, many expressing shock over the sudden development.
Some key reactions included:
- “Health comes first. Wishing her father a speedy recovery!”
- “Prayers for strength to the Mandhana family.”
- “Take your time, Champ. The nation stands with you.”
The cricketing community is awaiting further updates from the family.
