Indian actor director screenwriter and producer Mahesh Vaman Manjrekar usually works in Hindi cinema but he also directs Marathi Telugu and Bhojpuri films. He is credited with directing the critically acclaimed movie Viruddh... Family Comes First (2000) Astitva (2000) and Vaastav: The Reality (1999).
He has two Star Screen Awards and a National Film Award for Best Marathi Feature Film for Astitva. He has served as the Bigg Boss Marathi reality show's host since 2018. He became much more interested in the performing industry after graduating. He was drawn to the film industry by his passion and zeal for performing where he found widespread popularity and won many people's hearts.
Mahesh Manjrekar was born on August 16 1958 in Mumbai Maharashtra. He was brought up in a Marathi Karhade Brahmin family. Mahesh’s zodiac sign is Leo. Mahesh’s hobbies are dancing and writing.
Mahesh's sister is Devyani Manjrekar and he also has a brother Shailesh Manjrekar. In addition Amitabh Bachan Sanjay Dutt and other outstanding actors were collaborators with Mahesh Manjrekar.
The clearest illustration of his exceptional performance comes from Kaante in 2002. He also acted in two of the films he directed Deha (2007) and Okkadunnadu (2007) both in Telugu.
Mahesh Manjrekar did his schooling at Don Bosco High School in Mumbai. Later he enrolled at the University of Mumbai to finish his degree. From a young age he tended to act. Mahesh started acting in plays when he was still in college.
The actor-director admits that he discovered that what initially appeared to be a benign disease was bladder cancer while filming Antim: The Final Truth. For Mahesh Manjrekar what first appeared to be a benign disease turned out to be bladder cancer. The actor-director also had surgery in August to have his malignant cells removed.
He says I had treatment for my overactive bladder for an additional 1.5 years. But I started bleeding one day while we were filming Antim: The Final Truth. I had to go get it checked as a result. It turned out that I had cancer all along. If I had started my cancer treatment 1.5 years earlier I might have been able to save my bladder.
While Antim: The Final Truth was being filmed Majrekar had four rounds of chemotherapy for three months. Salman Khan (the actor) insisted that I receive the therapy abroad but I put my faith in our local medical professionals. I figured I might as well continue the movie because the chemo hadn't affected me. In any case I required three months to recover after the procedure he adds.
But he decided to keep his medical suffering a secret from the public. The 63-year-old claims I told everyone around me not to talk about it when discussing it. I didn't want to make a big deal out of it because so many people get cancer. It may have also appeared that I'm requesting sympathy.
