Veteran actor Nana Patekar passed away at the age of 75 at his Goa residence after suffering a cardiac arrest. Known for his intense performances and versatile roles in Hindi and Marathi classics like Parinda, Krantiveer, and Prahaar, he earned three National Film Awards and the Padma Shri. Beyond cinema, Patekar was deeply dedicated to public welfare, co-founding the NAAM Foundation to support drought-prone regions and providing medical assistance to families of distressed farmers. Political leaders and film industry icons, including Rajinikanth, Akshay Kumar, and Kamal Haasan, expressed profound grief over his sudden demise. He was cremated with full State honors. #nanapatekar #veteranactor #indiancinema #bollywood #marathicinema #parinda #krantiveer #naamfoundation #rajinikanth #akshaykumar #kamalhaasan #ripnanapatekar Thank you for watching our video!
