What's the story
Singer Palak Muchhal has finally addressed the indefinite postponement of her brother, music composer Palash Muchhal, and the Indian cricket team's vice-captain, Smriti Mandhana's wedding.

Speaking to Filmfare, Muchhal emphasized that they are all trying to stay positive during this tough time.
Family's response
'We would like to believe in positivity at this time...'
Muchhal said, "I think the families have been through a very tough time." "Like you just said, I would want to repeat that we would like to believe in positivity at this time." She added, "We would like to spread positivity as much as we can. We are also trying to stay strong."
Incident details
Health emergencies led to wedding postponement
The wedding was postponed after Mandhana's father, Shriniwas, fell ill and was hospitalized for a heart-related issue on the day of the ceremony. The following day, Palash was also admitted to a hospital in Sangli, Maharashtra, the venue for their wedding. He was later shifted to Mumbai for treatment and rest. Both have since been discharged and are recovering.
