Marathi television actor and Bigg Boss Marathi 4 participant Prasad Jawade is mourning a personal loss following the death of his mother, Pradnya Jawade, who passed away after a long battle with cancer.
She died on December 28, 2025, at the age of 65, leaving her family and well-wishers deeply saddened.
The news was confirmed by Prasad’s wife, actor Amruta Deshmukh, who shared an emotional post on Instagram to announce the demise of her mother-in-law. Along with several photographs, Amruta expressed her grief and reflected on the close bond she shared with Pradnya Jawade.
In her note, Amruta spoke about how she was never treated as a daughter-in-law, but as a daughter. She wrote, “From day one, she never treated me like a सून I was her मुलगी…simply, effortlessly. Names never mattered. “Kaku/Mummy”- love remained the same. And hers was pure, innocent, unquestioning. Her love for Marathi भाषा, कविता, शब्द..that was our quiet bond. Long conversations, simple emotions, deep meanings. Those twinkling grey eyes… the same warmth that lives on in Prasad’s light brown ones.”
Pradnya Jawade had been battling cancer for several years, and those close to her were aware of the difficult journey she and her family had endured. The actor was known to be extremely close to his mother, and her passing has reportedly left him heartbroken.
In her tribute, Amruta also acknowledged the support and care shown by Prasad and his father during Pradnya Jawade’s illness. She wrote, “Grateful for the way you held me. Grateful for the way you loved me. Always your girl. Pradnya Jawade (१५ सप्टेंबर १९६०-२८ डिसेंबर २०२५) And last but not least..proud of her son @prasadjawade and pappa – the way they both held her hand and accompanied her in her journey is beyond words ♥.” (sic)
The photographs shared by Amruta included moments from Pradnya Jawade’s illness, showing Prasad standing by his mother’s side and caring for her during her treatment. Following the post, several members of the Marathi film and television industry took to the comments section to offer condolences and prayers to the Jawade family.
Pradnya Jawade is survived by her husband and son. Her last rites were performed in the presence of close family members.
May her soul rest in peace.
