Who is Prajakta Shukre From Bigg Boss Marathi Season 6?
Prajakta Shukre is a popular Indian playback singer and former Indian Idol finalist who has entered Bigg Boss Marathi Season 6 as one of the standout celebrity contestants.
She built her early fame as the third runner-up in Indian Idol Season 1, sharing the stage with winner Abhijeet Sawant and later touring and performing with him, which is partly why Marathi audiences already feel like they “know” her story.
Over the years, she has sung for Hindi and Marathi films, devotional tracks, independent music, and live concerts, so Bigg Boss for her feels less like “first time on TV,” and more like a different kind of performance, one where the script is missing, and the emotions are a bit too real.
Inside the Bigg Boss Marathi 6 house, she’s positioned in an interesting space: not the loudest, not the most controversial, but one of those slow-burning contestants who grow on people episode by episode.
Fans who followed her reality-show journey years ago often describe it like reconnecting with an old college friend who suddenly pops up on national TV again, familiar, but with a lot more life experience showing in the way she handles fights, tasks, and alliances.
Bigg Boss Marathi New Captain
Prajakta Shukre recently became the new captain of the Bigg Boss Marathi 6 house, marking her first captaincy and a notable turning point in her journey this season.
Marathi entertainment updates and fan pages highlighted how she took charge of the house, and one widely shared post even referred to her warmly as the “navin captain” who brings a calmer, more emotionally aware style of leadership.
Prajakta Shukre Age
Prajakta Shukre is currently 38 years old, born on 29 November 1987. She hails from Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh, where music entered her life early enough that “childhood” and “riyaaz” are almost the same memory.
From the age of around four, she was already singing in small competitions, school events, and local programs, the classic “family dragging a shy-but-talented kid on stage” story that later turned into a full-fledged career.
By the time she appeared on Indian Idol, she was still in 12th standard, juggling studies with a national TV platform and suddenly becoming recognizable in homes across India.
That early exposure often shows in Bigg Boss now: there’s a certain maturity in how a 38-year-old artist deals with late-night arguments about chores, food, or nominations less impulsive, more “take a breath, talk it out, then sing a line to lighten the tension.”
Prajakta Shukre Songs
Prajakta Shukre has sung a mix of film songs, albums, and unplugged renditions, with “Ithun Dhakka Tithun Dhakka” being one of her most iconic Marathi tracks that turned her into an overnight youth sensation.
The 2007 track blended Marathi and Hindi in a catchy, high-energy style, and for a whole generation, it became one of those songs that instantly transports people back to college fests, bus rides, and slightly chaotic dance performances at family functions.
Beyond that, she has lent her voice to Hindi films like “Shaadi No. 1,” “Tees Maar Khan,” “Manikarnika,” and “Veda,” along with devotional and independent music.
She also worked on refreshed and unplugged versions of classics such as “Aisa Sama Na Hota” and “Jaane Kya Baat Hai,” which stream on platforms like JioSaavn and other music apps.
A quick scroll through her recent appearances shows her still performing live, experimenting with genres, and occasionally dropping those high notes in the Bigg Boss house itself when someone nudges her to “just sing one line, please.”
Some of the songs associated with her include:
-
“Ithun Dhakka Tithun Dhakka” – the breakout Marathi hit that many still use as a nostalgia button at parties.
-
“Dankila” from “Manikarnika” – where she voices for Kangana Ranaut in a vibrant, folk-infused track.
-
Various “Unwind” and unplugged Hindi tracks like “Aisa Sama Na Hota” and “Jaane Kya Baat Hai,” popular on streaming playlists for their mellow, late-night vibe.
