Subodh Bhave Mourns the Death of Priya Marathe at 38 Following a Prolonged Struggle with Cancer, Leaves an Emotional Note

Actress Priya Marathe, known for her roles in popular Hindi shows and Marathi films, passed away at the age of 38.

Marathe began her acting career with the Marathi show 'Ya Sukhano Ya' in 2005 and went on to act in Marathi films like 'Umne Jeena Seekh Liya' and 'Ti Ani Itar'. She also gained nationwide fame as Varsha in 'Pavitra Rishta' and appeared in other popular Hindi shows such as 'Bade Acche Lagte Hain,' 'Saath Nibhana Saathiya', 'Uttaran', and 'Maharana Pratap'.

Sadly, Marathe was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago. She bravely battled the disease for more than two years, with her husband, actor Shantanu Moghe, standing strongly by her side throughout her health struggles.

During this difficult time, Marathe's spirit remained remarkable, according to her colleague Subodh Bhave. Bhave, who is a fellow Marathi actor and Marathe's cousin, described her as a "fighter" and a "great actress". He shared an emotional note on Instagram about Marathe, calling her a "beautiful soul" and expressing his condolences to her family.

Marathe's health struggles worsened during the series 'Tu Metshi Navane', and she transitioned to Hindi television with 'Kasamh Se'. Despite the challenges she faced, Marathe continued to act and bring joy to audiences through her performances.

Shantanu Moghe, who is the son of veteran Marathi actor Shrikant Moghe, married Marathe in 2012 after meeting her through a mutual friend at a party. The couple had been married for nine years.

Marathe's passing is a great loss to the Indian acting community, and she will be remembered for her talent, spirit, and the impact she had on audiences. Our thoughts and condolences go out to her family and friends during this difficult time.
