Salman Khan postpones Mumbai event after Nana Patekar’s death
Salman Khan postponed a scheduled public appearance in Mumbai following the death of his “Khamoshi” co-star Nana Patekar, as the film industry paused to mourn the veteran actor.
Tributes continued to pour in for the 75-year-old, with Hema Malini saying she regretted missing Patekar’s last phone call a week earlier.
Maharashtra has announced a funeral with full state honours for the Padma Shri recipient, who died of cardiac arrest at his Goa residence on Thursday.
Patekar and Khan shared the screen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 1996 musical drama, one of the early milestones in both their careers.
