The wedding was earlier scheduled for November 23 in Smriti’s hometown, Sangli.

The couple’s pre-wedding celebrations had already taken place earlier, but things changed after both families faced unexpected health issues.

Smriti’s father was admitted to the hospital, and a day later, Palash was also hospitalised. Because of this, the wedding was postponed, and no new date was announced. Soon after, rumours started spreading online, especially when Smriti deleted all her wedding-related posts.
