Veteran actor Nana Patekar passed away at the age of 75 following a cardiac arrest on October 8. He was brought dead to Manipal Hospital, where doctors attempted to revive him with a cardiac massage for about 45 minutes to an hour before declaring him dead.
At around 2:30 AM, Nana Patekar messaged a friend saying he felt unwell, but the message went unseen until his friend called and visited his house at 4:00 AM. Finding him sweating and losing consciousness, his caretaker rushed him to the hospital in an ambulance where he arrived around 4:20 or 4:30 AM.
