Who is Prabhu Shelke in Bigg Boss Marathi 6?
Prabhu Shelke in Bigg Boss Marathi 6 is a young social media content creator and “reel star” from rural Maharashtra who has entered the show as one of the new-generation, viral-face contestants for the 2026 season.
He comes into Bigg Boss Marathi 6 with a massive digital following in the millions and a ready-made fan base that knows him by nicknames like “Don,” and which is exactly the kind of grassroots popularity the show loves to tap into for drama, relatability, and TRP.
Coming from Walkhed village in Partur taluka of Jalna district, his background is of a financially struggling family, and his journey from a small village boy making reels on a basic phone to stepping on the Bigg Boss stage has been highlighted repeatedly in the launch episodes and promos.
On the premiere, he was introduced as a reel star whose raw Marathi style, simple appearance, and slightly rough-around-the-edges rural charm immediately stood out against the more glamorous contestants, and early reactions on Marathi news portals and social clips show audiences connecting with his personality rather than any manufactured celeb image.
A key part of his story in the show’s introduction AV was his long struggle with thalassemia and the fact that he needs regular treatment, with reports mentioning a high overall medical cost and positioning Bigg Boss as a platform where he hopes to work, earn, and support his own medical expenses instead of depending on others.
That mix of health struggle, village roots, and viral popularity is being framed on official and mainstream Marathi outlets as his core narrative, more than any polished “actor” tag, and it sets him up in the house as an underdog contestant whose emotional story and fan backing could turn into a strong voting base as Bigg Boss Marathi 6 progresses.
