Priya's cousin and actor Subodh Bhave wrote a note remembering his sister on Instagram. He wrote, "Priya Marathe. A wonderful actress, my co-star in a few series and films. But for me, the relationship with her was more important. Priya, my cousin. The hard work she put in after coming into this field, her faith in her work was commendable. She played every role with a big heart and harmony. A few years ago, she was diagnosed with cancer. Fighting it, she started working again. Through dramas, serials, she again presented her beautiful acting to the audience. But that cancer did not leave her. Once again, her trouble came to the fore during our series 'Tu Metshi Navane'. Her partner, @shantanusmoghe was with her strongly throughout this journey. My sister was a fighter, but eventually her strength failed. Heartfelt tribute to you, Priya. I pray that you find peace wherever you are. Om Shanti."
