Actor-filmmaker Mahesh Manjrekar underwent surgery for urinary bladder cancer, and the actor had informed PTI, “Yes I did get operated, and I am on the way to recovery.” Mahesh was reportedly admitted to Mumbai HN Reliance Foundation Hospital. Mahesh Manjrekar’s daughter Saiee Manjrekar told the publication that the actor is ‘doing much better’.
Talking about her father’s health, Saiee said, “He is fine now. He's doing much better. Also, the thing is that I can't say anything right now." She added that her father might not be ‘very comfortable’ with any details being divulged right now.
“I don’t think dad is very comfortable with anything coming out now. So I am just waiting for him to give his hand of experience and his takeaway from this. To keep the short answer, he has been very strong and I am very proud of him,” Saiee Manjrekar told Hindustan Times.
Mahesh’s brother, filmmaker Sudesh Manjrekar told ETimes, “Yes, he underwent surgery for urinary bladder cancer three months ago. I know nobody was aware of this. Now, Mahesh is doing good, he is fit and fine."
