On December 7, Smriti Mandhana broke her silence for the first time on her postponed marriage with Palaash Muchhal. She declared that the wedding had been called off and requested privacy. Her note read, “Over the past few weeks there has been plenty of speculation around my life and I feel it is important for me to speak out at this time. I am a very private person and I would like to keep it that way but I need to clarify that the wedding is called off. I would like to close this matter here and implore all of you to do the same. I request you to please respect the privacy of both families at this time and allow us the space to process and move on at our own pace.”

Smriti Mandhana’s post came after her wedding with Palaash Muchhal was postponed when her father was hospitalised on the wedding day.

Palaash was also hospitalised in Sangli, where the wedding was supposed to take place, but later returned to Mumbai with his family. While the rumours and speculations took over, the couple stayed quiet. However, they both released statements on December 7, calling the wedding off.
