==Career==
Mohan Vaidhya is the son of noted ghatam artiste K. M. Vaidyanathan and the nephew of music composer [[G. Ramanathan]]. He is the elder brother of noted veena player [[Rajhesh Vaidhya]], and his family grew up closely inclined to classical music.<ref>https://nettv4u.com/celebrity/tamil/musician/mohan-vaidya</ref> Mohan revealed that his voice did not break until his 20s, and that his feminine voice earned him the nickname "Mayil". Mohan learned the violin, taking lessons from Radha Sundaresan. He also took vocal lessons from various gurus such as Tiruvavur Sethuraman, Srirangam Ranganathan, K. C. Thyagarajan and [[Anayampatti S. Ganesan|Anayampati Ganesan]].<ref name="mohan">https://www.thehindu.com/features/friday-review/music/music-makes-mohan-smile/article5809688.ece</ref> Mohan moved to Delhi where he met dancer [[Saroja Vaidyanathan]] and began singing for her. He also became the vocalist for Vilasini Natyam exponent [[Swapna Sundari (dancer)|Swapna Sundari]], [[Leela Samson]], [[Yamini Krishnamurthy]] and [[Bharati Shivaji]].<ref name="mohan"/>

In the early 1990s, Mohan moved to Chennai and hosted ''Ragam Sangeetham'', a Carnatic music based quiz show on Raj TV. Mohan then moved on to work on films, portraying supporting acting roles in films such as ''[[Sethu (film)|Sethu]]'' (1999), ''[[Parasuram (2003 film)|Parasuram]]'' (2003) and ''[[Anniyan]]'' (2005). He has since continued to be involved in television, notably appearing in television serials and being one of the judges of ''Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge'' on Zee Tamil.

===Bigg Boss===
In 2019, he was seen as a contestant on ''[[Bigg Boss Tamil 3]]'' on [[Star Vijay]].<ref name="mohan"/> Mohan was subject to controversies as well. He once cited health concerns and swapped the tasks of the toilet with the cleaning duties of the vessel. Host Kamal questioned Mohan about the reasons for the toilet tasks being shuffled. Kamal told Mohan implicitly that no job was superior or inferior to the other.<ref name="timesofindiajourney">{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=2019-07-22|title=Bigg Boss Tamil 3: A look at Mohan Vaidya's journey in the show|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/tamil/bigg-boss-tamil-3-a-look-at-mohan-vaidyas-journey-in-the-show/photostory/70329755.cms|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-10-27|website=The Times of India|language=en}}</ref>

Mohan was criticized in the social networks for his act of [[kissing]] the housemates including female housemates frequently.<ref name="timesofindiajourney" /> On one episode, after a drama, [[Meera Mitun|Meera Mithun]] began sobbing uncontrollably, and Mohan went to her and consoled her after some time. He then hugged and kissed the much younger girl. This created a huge controversy on social media. He later clarified to others that she was like a daughter to him.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2019-07-03|title=Mohan Vaidya kisses Meera Mithun - Netizens troll heavily - News|url=https://www.indiaglitz.com/mohan-vaidya-kisses-meera-mithun-netizens-troll-heavily-tamil--news-239538|access-date=2020-10-27|website=IndiaGlitz.com}}</ref> Later during an interview he said that he was always fond of the girls as he was born with three brothers and no sisters and that he genuinely showed affection for them.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2019-07-23|title='Bigg Boss 3' Mohan Vaidya explains his kissing, hugging and issue with Meera Mithun - Tamil News|url=https://www.indiaglitz.com/bigg-boss-3-mohan-vaidya-exclusive-interview-kissing-hugging-meera-mithun-sandy-tamil-news-240906|access-date=2020-10-27|website=IndiaGlitz.com}}</ref>
