Smriti Mandhana Wedding: KBC Shoot Skipped Amid Controversy

The recent changes in Smriti Mandhana wedding have caused a major shock to cricket fans and followers of the sport. The celebration, which began as a happy event, has transformed into a series of unexpected developments that now show their impact on the world. 

To honour the players of the victorious women’s cricket World Cum squad, a special episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) was set and filmed this week. 

Experts on Winexch believe the move stems directly from the wedding chaos between her and music composer Palash Muchhal because they had to cancel their wedding at the last moment before the ceremony was supposed to start. 

The sudden disappearance of Mandhana from this important occasion has attracted major media coverage. This leads to equal amounts of public curiosity, worry, and backing.

From bridal preparations to abrupt postponement

The Indian native’s nuptials to Palash Muchhal, a musician, had been set for Nov. 23, 2025, in her hometown of Sangli in Maharashtra state. The pre-wedding celebrations, including mehendi, haldi and sangeet, have apparently already been completed. Teammates and friends from the Indian women’s cricket team turned out in full force; the mood was celebratory. The bride and groom had even planned a light-hearted Bride vs Groom cricket match as part of the festivities.

Unfortunately, just a few hours before the ceremony, having breakfast at about 8:30 am, Mandhana’s father, Srinivas Mandhana, felt really unwell. It started as a slight discomfort and developed into chest pain; he was found to have high cardiac markers and then taken by ambulance to Cañar hospital for observation.

In view of the seriousness, Tuhin Mishra (Mandhana’s manager) confirmed that she has put her wedding plan on hold indefinitely until her father recovers. He pointed out the strong relationship of Mandhana with her father and said that there was no question of getting married under such conditions.

And complicating the matter, Anam’s fiancé, Palash Muchhal, was also reportedly hospitalised not long after her for a different reason (likely stress). Mandhana, on the other hand, put all engagement and pre-wedding functions pictures behind her back as she quietly deleted such posts from her social media, but old images with Muchhal are very much visible.

KBC Appearance: Her Absence Speaks Louder than Words

With the wedding on hold and the family dealing with serious health concerns, Mandhana’s absence from the KBC special did not come as a complete surprise, yet for many fans it felt like the final confirmation that everything had changed. She was scheduled to be joined on the line by other members of the World Cup–winning squad, but pulled out at the last minute.

Still, that KBC episode was eagerly anticipated, Harmanpreet Kaur (one of the stars), Harleen Deol (who took that catch) and Richa Ghosh had made it from the middle before, then came Shafali Verma, Deepti Sharma (Player of the Tournament), Sneh Rana and the head coach Amol Muzumdar, they brought energy and excitement and pride to a broadcast meant to celebrate one of Indian women’s cricket’s greatest moments.

While fans were disappointed to not see enough of Mandhana on the screen, the situation was an implicit one and made it obvious why she didn’t want to be seen. In times like these, the importance of family, mental health and privacy issues cannot be overstated.

So, What About the “Smriti Mandhana Wedding

So far, there is no new date fixed for Smriti Mandhana wedding. Both families have requested privacy and that well-wishers allow them space. As per the comments of Mandhana’s manager, the wedding date can only be decided once her father fully recovers.

There is hope for the cricket fraternity and fans in a positive conclusion. There is support, there is empathy, there is patience. In the meantime, fans are also eagerly awaiting for Mandhana to sizzle again on the pitch and maybe even in public space when the time is ripe.

What’s more, this entire episode has also ignited brand-side conversations. Platforms like Winexchange have seen increased chatter whenever sports stars face social media buzz, interviews, and digital campaigns.
