Prarthana Behere
Actress Prarthana Behere, who shot to fame with her appearance in Pavitra Rishta, went through a major loss in her life. In a tragic road accident, her father passed away, leaving the family deeply shaken. The Marathi actress shared an emotional note and expressed her grief on social media. She penned a touching note remembering his love, laughter, and guidance.
Prarthana shared a monochrome picture of her father, in which he is seen smiling. Prarthana left everyone in shock by mentioning about his tragic demise. She penned a long note in Marathi, which has been loosely translated in English.
"My Baba⦠On October 14, he tragically passed away in a road accident. Baba⦠Since you left, life feels as if it has come to a standstill. Your laughter still echoes in our ears, your confidence gives strength to our hearts, and your life taught us that happiness is not about circumstances, it's about perspective. Your honesty, your spirit of service, and your boundless love for people taught us the true meaning of humanity. You showed us that real contentment comes from helping others."
She further added, "Even though you're no longer with us, your voice and your songs continue to give us strength. Your sudden exit has deeply shaken us. Just a few days ago, everything was fine, and now your untimely departure has left us heartbroken. Every moment, your memories will stay with us. But if we look at this from a different perspective, you're now closer to all of us than ever before. You live on in our memories, and we can talk to you whenever our hearts wish to."
"I've always worked in a way that would make you proud, and now I'll move forward with even more determination. Wherever you are, dedicating my best work to you will be my tribute and my duty. I'll make sure you never see the tears in my eyes, because I don't want to see you blurred through them. Your smile, forever etched in my heart, will always stay there, and it's my responsibility to keep it alive. Don't worry, Baba⦠I'm very strong. Because I know you're not just behind me, you're always with me. I love you, Baba. Miss you forever. Your Tumpa," wrote Prarthana.
In August, Prarthana lost her friend and Pavitra Rishta co-actor Priya Marathe, who passed away at the age of 38 after a prolonged battle with cancer. Prarthana Behere was seen at the funeral, breaking down into tears, visibly shaken by her friend's death.
