RIP, NANA PATEKAR. 🕊️
From starting theatre at 13 to becoming one of Indian cinema’s most celebrated actors, Nana Patekar lived a life that went far beyond the screen.
3 National Awards. A Padma Shri. A Territorial Army uniform.
A 27-acre farmhouse where he farmed wheat and paddy.
And through the NAAM Foundation, a commitment to helping farmers, labourers and martyrs’ families.
Yet, despite it all, he chose to live simply — in a modest home, close to the values that shaped him.
A remarkable career. A humble life. A legacy that will live on.
You will be remembered not only for the characters you played,
but for the lives you touched beyond the camera.
Rest in peace, Nana Patekar. 🤍
