Veteran Actor Nana Patekar Dies at 75, Remembered for Acting and Philanthropy
Nana Patekar, a veteran Indian actor known for his intense performances, passed away at 75 due to cardiac arrest at his Goa residence. Beyond cinema, he led a simple life, living modestly in a 1BHK Mumbai flat and a 27-acre farmhouse near Pune where he farmed and supported rural communities. Deeply affected by Maharashtra's farmer crisis, he co-founded the Naam Foundation to aid drought-hit farmers and families of suicides. Patekar also served in the Territorial Army during the Kargil War and was known for his candidness and philanthropy.
