Shantanu Moghe and Priya Marathe
On August 31st, Marathi actor Priya Marathe, best known for her performance in Pavitra Rishta, died from cancer at the age of 38. While her industry friends mourned her death, her husband, Shantanu Moghe, did not make any public statements for a while. Now, a month after her death, Shantanu has written a heartfelt tribute to his wife, along with some of her silly photos.
Shantanu's emotional note for Priya
Shantanu took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a few photos of himself and Priya. Both were seen sitting on a plane, making hilarious faces while posing for pictures. Along with the photographs, Shantanu wrote a thank message that read: “This is a very special Gratitude post for all those who chose different communication platforms like calls, e-mails, WhatsApp, X, Instagram, Facebook and the like, to express their love and blessings towards the Numero Uno Priya Marathe … Immensely thankful to all those family n friends, fans n followers, acquaintances n unknowns, who expressed their feelings so generously… The warmth and the genuineness, the sorrow and the concern came across unquestionably, undoubtedly.”
Shantanu added, “Also, the countless blessings and wishes from all over reinstated our belief in humanity… God bless ya’ll… And it’s been a month today… Personal sorrow and grief can’t be put into words. The untimely, unfair, unfortunate, unexpected farewell from such a loving, positive and purest soul I know, left our hearts aching and bleeding… But she touched innumerable hearts, and how… Through work, art, love, care, kindness, behaviour, conduct, sensitivity, sensibility and most importantly, the ‘ACTIONS and VIBE’ matching all the above.”
Shantanu went on to warn the gods to take care of Priya, “Thanks a ton again to all you wonderful people who have always stood by us, in thick and thin… Luv n Luck to you all. A heartfelt gratitude. Beware GODS… Not a single more mistake by U in taking care of her, loving her, will be forgiven… My ANGEL… Till we meet again.”
Priya was battling cancer for nearly 2 years
Priya and Shantanu got married in April 2012. They also collaborated on the series Swarajyarakshak Sambhaji. Priya had apparently been battling cancer for nearly two years before passing away at 4 a.m. on August 31 at her home on Mira Road.
Her demise shocked both fans and industry colleagues. Her Pavitra Rishta co-star Usha Nadkarni described her death as "unfair" and recalled how she was always cheery on set. Priya's cousin, actor Subodh Bhave, recounted how heroically she fought her cancer battle and complimented Shantanu for standing by her side throughout her journey.
