She wasn’t noise. She was presence. Priya Marathe. The actress who made space in people’s living rooms through the TV screen. A smile. A stare. A role that lingers. That’s who she was.
Priya Marathe Early Life
Born in Thane. Raised in Mumbai. No glamour background. No big family name. Priya walked into the industry with courage. With talent. Her first step? 2005. The Marathi serial Ya Sukhano Ya. A small role. But enough to start.
Then Char Divas Sasuche. One of Marathi TV’s longest running shows. She stayed for years. Audiences grew with her. She became a face they trusted. Familiar, Real.
Her Career in Hindi Television
The shift came with Hindi serials, Kasamh Se. She played Vidya Bali. Not a lead. Still noticed. Then Comedy Circus Ke SuperStars. A lighter side. She could make people laugh.
And then came Pavitra Rishta. Her turning point. As Varsha Satish Deshpande, she moved through shades of grey. First caring. Then bitter. A complex role. She nailed it. Viewers loved. Viewers hated. Both at once. That’s impact. Later, she returned as Jhumri Balan Singh. Same show. Different character. Same strength.
She didn’t stop. Bade Achhe Lagte Hain. Saath Nibhaana Saathiya.In every role she touched, she left a mark.
Priya Marathe in Marathi Shows and Films
Even with Hindi success, Marathi was her home. Tu Tithe Me. Almost Sufal Sampoorna. Swarajya Rakshak Sambhaji. Tuzech Mi Geet Gaat Aahe. Priya Marathe carried both industries on her shoulders.
Films too. Humne Jeena Seekh Liya in 2008. Ti Ani Itar in 2017. She never chased quantity. She chased honesty in acting.
Priya Marathe Husband and Personal Life
In 2012, Priya married actor Shantanu Moghe. The son of veteran actor Shrikant Moghe. Their life was private. Warm. Real. A marriage built on love, not headlines.
On Instagram, Priya Marathe shared glimpses. Trips. Joy. Smiles. Her last post—August 2024. Jaipur. Amer Fort. A beautiful memory frozen forever.
Priya Marathe Death at 38
Behind the smile was a silent war. Cancer. She fought it. Treatments. Hospitals. Still she worked. Still she smiled. Still she inspired.
But cancer is merciless. It returned. Stronger. On August 31, 2025, at 4 am, She passed away in her Mira Road home, Mumbai. Only 38. Too soon. Too cruel.
Tributes to Priya Marathe
The news spread. Silence followed. Actor Subodh Bhave, her cousin, wrote—she was a fighter. Usha Nadkarni said—“She was like my daughter. This is no age to go.”
Fans wept. Social media filled with clips, old scenes, photos. She was gone. But her work stayed alive.
Priya Marathe Legacy
Almost two decades in the industry. From Ya Sukhano Ya in 2005 to Tuzech Mi Geet Gaat Aahe in 2023. Priya Marathe built a journey of strength. She wasn’t always the lead. But she always mattered.
She lived for her craft. She lived for her characters. Now, she lives in memories.
Her biography doesn’t end with her death. It lives on in every role, every scene, every smile she left behind.
