At his last public event, veteran Bollywood and Marathi actor Nana Patekar , who passed away on Friday morning following a cardiac arrest, had foretold that ‘his time would come too’ but that he was hopeful that he could do something worthwhile before it did.
“According to what we know, he messaged his friend that he was not feeling well at around 2:30 am, that he was uncomfortable with pain on his left side. Shifted him while on CPR to the hospital, but by the time it was too late and he was declared dead at 5:20,” Salkar said. “Everyone has to go one day. But, are you capable of doing what needs to be done before that? Are you making the effort? “What I like about Narendra Modi’s ideas, I do like, but also learn to speak up about what you do not like (about him). What is an andolan at the end of the day? It is saying what you do not like. Even a small child grumbles when they are not happy. If there is something I do not like, then it is certainly my duty to raise my voice about it. But there’s also a manner in which one raises their voice. One must never use foul language about anyone. “Manohar Parrikar is my friend. He was younger than me, but his stature was such that one had to look up to him. He was destined for great things and he made sure he would do what it takes (to get there). “Shocked and deeply saddened to learn about the demise of veteran actor Shri @nanagpatekar Ji. With his remarkable journey across theatre, Hindi and Marathi cinema, his powerful performances and distinctive artistry left an indelible mark on Indian cinema. My heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, admirers and the entire film fraternity. May his soul attain Sadgati. As it was night, I think his friend could not get the message at that time. He reached his house at around 4am by which time he was gasping and sweating. He sent his caretaker here, took the ambulance and went there and by the time they went there, he was unresponsive, they started CPR in the house.
If you stay limited to your own family and circle… one needs to give back to society,” Patekar had said on the occasion. That language can be reserved for friends or at home,” Patekar had also said. Despite his limits as an individual he achieved a great deal,” Patekar had said on the occasion. Om Shanti,” Sawant said via a post on X.
I don’t know when my time will come, whether today or tomorrow, your time will come too.
