It's been one bad news after the other. Just some time back, back to back, we lost two enterprising actors, Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor. Now, comes the demise of veteran Doordarshan anchor Malvika Marathe due to brain cancer, which has left her fans truly devastated. She was 53.
She has been battling the illness for about a year now with the same getting serious in the past few days. Malvika worked as an anchor for DD from 1991 to 2001.
Malvika became a household name with her Akashwani (All India Radio) stint and became a seasoned anchor and announcer. Initially, she was into drama, but later branched out to anchoring, where she found her calling.
She is survived by her husband, a daughter, and son-in-law. We condole the sad incident and hope her family stays strong during this tough time.
