Now, his mother revealed shocking details about how his divorce led him to a serious ailment.

Mayank Pawar was left heartbroken after his divorce two years ago

While Mayank Pawar chose to keep his personal life private, not many know he was struggling with a deep wound. His mother revealed that Mayank was married, but he got divorced in 2014. In an interview with One India, his mother, Rajni, shared that her son was under a lot of stress and depression after the separation. He even suffered a serious liver problem in March 2025.

Mayank was admitted to the hospital for the same, but couldn't recover completely. His mother further added that her son was under a lot of mental stress and was battling loneliness and sadness. His friend also confirmed that Mayank went into depression but he tried to keep himself busy with fitness and training. She was quoted as saying:

"My son was a very hardworking person. Fitness was his life, but the divorce broke him from within. The liver problem made his condition worse. We tried a lot, but..."

Mayank's family chose to keep his cause of death hidden, but reports of his liver failure and depression were in the media. He took his last breath on February 24, 2026, at his home. His condition suddenly worsened, and he passed away. Mayank's passing at a young age of 37 again sparked debate about the risks of stress, diet and supplements for bodybuilding. 

He celebrated his 37th birthday on January 1, 2026, and his death within a few weeks had left his fans in shock. It is worth mentioning that the cause of his death is unknown. His family had shared a note announcing Mayank's prayer meet. The prayer meeting is scheduled for February 25, 2026, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Valmiki Mandir, Sangam Park, Rana Pratap Bagh. Along with the post, it was written:

"A brother, a champion, a mentor, and an inspiration to many. Mayank Pawar will forever live in our hearts. Please join us in prayer and remembrance. Om Shanti."

Soon, fans showered their condolence messages. One user wrote, "Like a few days back, I was watching his Splitsvilla 7 journey. Can’t really believe. Haven’t seen a pure soul like him in the entire Splitsvilla seasons. Still remember, everyone cried, including Sunny Leone, when he got eliminated. May his soul rest in peace." Another one expressed his opinion on the impacts of steroids and wrote, "Olympia gym shastri nagar me training krta tha bhai shuru me wahi se sare gold laya hai, mgr galti ye thi mindset aisa tha ki kuch b thok do bas body banni chye aur vsa hua but internally jo nuksan hua steroids se wo permanent side effects kbhi thk nhi hote. This sport should be banned for good and its the worst sport in human history." A third user penned, "Om shanti … You will be missed bro. We met quite few times in championships but the memories we had will remain forever."

We pray for strength for the family in these testing times!
