A wave of distress has struck Team India star cricketer Smriti Mandhana just before her wedding. She was scheduled to marry her fiance Palash Muchhal on 23 November, but the ceremony was postponed after her father suffered a heart attack and had to be admitted to a hospital. Due to her father’s critical condition, Mandhana decided to delay the wedding.
Now, fresh reports suggest that Palash Muchhal has also fallen ill and had to be taken to a hospital. Fortunately, his condition has improved, and he has returned to his hotel room.
According to NDTV, Palash was taken to a private hospital after developing a viral infection and severe acidity. The situation was not serious, and after receiving treatment, he was discharged and sent back to his hotel.
Smriti Mandhana’s family doctor, Dr. Naman Shah, said that a medical team is closely monitoring her father’s health. If his condition improves adequately, he may be discharged today.
Speaking to PTI, Dr. Shah explained: “At around 1.30 pm, Mr Srinivas Mandhana got left-sided chest pain, we call it 'angina' in medical term. As the symptoms surfaced, his son called me, we sent ambulance, he was shifted to hospital. We found out in ECG, other reports, that cardiac enzymes are elevated, hence we need to keep him in observation.”
He added, “BP is also elevated. The whole team is monitoring. If situation exacerbates, we will have to do angiography... Smriti is in contact with us.”
