Indian women’s cricket team vice-captain Smriti Mandhana’s fiance and musician Palash Muchhal was discharged from the hospital on November 26. Earlier this week, he was hospitalized after his wedding to Smriti Mandhana was suddenly postponed.
Doctors have confirmed that the musician’s health condition was caused by extreme stress rather than any serious heart problem. He revealed that Palash first got treatment at a hospital in Sangli after he complained of chest pain.

When his symptoms persisted, Palash was shifted to SRV Hospital in Mumbai, where he was admitted with severe chest pain, breathlessness and restlessness. Doctors immediately conducted routine heart tests including ECG and 2D echocardiography.

Some levels were slightly higher than normal, but there was no sign of a serious cardiac emergency. As a precaution, he was given oxygen support and kept under strict observation. Once his condition was stable, he was moved to a room in the general hospital.
According to the medical team, his health steadily improved over the next few days with rest and proper care. SRV Hospital confirmed that Palash’s condition is stable and he has been discharged. He has been advised to take complete rest for at least three weeks to prevent the symptoms from returning.
No sign of any major heart problem: Doctor
“Palash’s condition appears to be related to a stress-related crisis rather than any serious cardiac event. Although some levels were found slightly elevated, there was no indication of any major cardiac or medical emergency,” Dr Deependra Tripathi, one of the senior doctors monitoring him, was quoted as saying by Mid-Day.
Palash was discharged from the hospital right after Smriti Mandhana’s father Srinivas Mandhana was also discharged from Sarvhit Hospital earlier this week, bringing some relief to both the families.
Palash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana’s wedding episode
Meanwhile, it was supposed to be a joyous wedding day for Palash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana, but it turned into an extremely emotional and stressful experience for both the families.
The couple was scheduled to get married on November 23 in Sangli and almost all the pre-wedding rituals had been completed.

But just a few hours before the rounds everything changed. While getting ready for the wedding procession, Smriti’s father’s health suddenly deteriorated. He showed symptoms like a heart attack and had to be immediately taken to Sarvhit Hospital, which left everyone stunned as he was absolutely fine.
He was dancing, smiling and even posting happily on Instagram. After which, Palash took a tough decision to postpone the marriage. He is very close to Smriti’s father and did not want to continue the rituals when he was suffering from health issues.
The stress of the situation took such a toll on the musician that he had an emotional breakdown and even had to be taken to the hospital. Doctors kept him under observation for four hours and his sister, singer Palak Muchhal, visited him.
Now, the wedding is on hold as both the families have decided to focus only on recovery and health. Once things settle down and everyone feels ready, a new wedding date will be planned.
