Talking about Mahesh Manjrekar's health, said, "I am shocked to know that he underwent a surgery for cancer. He recently celebrated his birthday, and was fine on his birthday. It's saddening, and I pray for his recovery and hope he heals soon." (PC - Instagram)

Bigg Boss Marathi's upcoming season 3 is going to launch soon and Megha wants him to recover at the earliest. She said, "The forthcoming season of Bigg Boss Marathi is all set to launch, and he recently underwent surgery. I wish and hope he recovers fast and joins the show as a host. I can't imagine anyone else as a host of Bigg Boss Marathi. We all have experienced his company. He is straightforward, and as well as he is caring, and loving. We can't afford to have a new host. Bigg Boss Marathi is incomplete without Mahesh Manjrekar." (PC - Instagram)

Mahesh Manjrekar is not a person who will prefer resting for a long time. He is a workaholic. He loves to work. I am sure he is also trying his best to recover fast. His dedication towards work is inspiring. (PC - Instagram)

He is like a fatherly figure to me. I entered the house of Bigg Boss Marathi, and my life changed for good. He has been the biggest support for me. I also remember when the entire house was against me, he stood by me like a pillar. He has always guided me. (PC- Instagram)

Nobody can host Bigg Boss Marathi better than him. He has an entirely different aura. His straightforward and strict attitude is necessary for the contestants. When we were inside the house, he got to know that we were not getting our favorite food inside the house. So, he used to bring food for us from his home every weekend. He knew that I was missing my favourite crabs, so he got it from home and sent them inside. (PC - Instagram)

Bigg Boss Marathi means Mahesh Manjrekar and vice versa. I remember him almost every day and our fond memories from the season. He still has to do a lot in life, and fans are desperate to watch his upcoming projects. We are eagerly waiting for his new craft, and something like this happened with him. I pray for him and hope he returns to work soon. (PC- Instagram)
