Salman Khan Halts Event After Nana Patekar's Demise
8 Oct
Summary
- Salman Khan postponed a GB Realty event scheduled for October 8.
- The event delay is a mark of respect for late actor Nana Patekar.
- Both actors shared screen space in the 1996 film Khamoshi.
Veteran actor Nana Patekar passed away on Thursday, October 8, 2026, at the age of 75. His death, attributed to a cardiac arrest at his residence in Dona Paula, Goa, has led to a significant event postponement.
Salman Khan, who was slated to attend a GB Realty event in Bandra, Mumbai, on the same day, has reportedly put his appearance on hold. This decision is seen as a mark of respect for Patekar, with whom Khan shared a close bond and starred in the 1996 film 'Khamoshi: The Musical'.
Patekar's passing has been met with widespread grief from the industry. The Maharashtra government announced a state funeral with full honors, acknowledging his contributions to cinema and his social work. His mortal remains were transported from Goa to Pune for his final rites.
