Salman Khan event postponed after Nana Patekar dies at 75
Salman Khan’s Bandra event was postponed as a mark of respect after Nana Patekar died at 75 following a cardiac emergency in Goa.
Mumbai event called off
Salman Khan’s scheduled Thursday evening appearance at a GB Realty function in Bandra has been postponed. Organisers cancelled the programme as a mark of respect following Nana Patekar’s death earlier that day.
Khan was to attend the event alongside GB Realty Chairman and Managing Director Gurinder Bhatti at Taj Lands End from 6 pm onwards.
What happened to Nana Patekar
Patekar died at 75 at his Goa residence on Thursday. According to Dr Shekhar Salkar, Chief of the Department of Oncology at Manipal Hospital, the actor sent a message to a friend around 2.30 am that he was not feeling well and had pain on the left side of his chest.
The friend reached the residence around 4 am, by which time Patekar “was sweating” and was slowly becoming unconscious, Dr Salkar said. An ambulance was called, and emergency responders began CPR at home after finding him unresponsive.
He was brought to Manipal Hospital around 4.20 am, where doctors continued CPR and cardiac massage for nearly 45 minutes. He did not respond and was declared dead around 5.20 am.
A shared screen history
Khan and Patekar had worked together in an acclaimed 1996 musical drama, where Patekar played the mute father of the female lead. The film remains a milestone in 90s Hindi cinema.
For Hindi film fans, Patekar’s death closes a chapter. His body of work includes Ankush, Parinda, Tirangaa, Krantiveer, Ab Tak Chhappan, Apaharan, Taxi No. 9211 and Welcome.
What to take from the timeline
The gap between Patekar’s 2.30 am discomfort and the arrival of help is the detail that lingers. Left-side chest pain is a classic heart-attack warning sign, and it should never be waited out overnight.
- Call emergency services the moment chest pain is reported.
- Stay with the person and keep them as calm as possible while help is on the way.
- Learn hands-only CPR so you are ready before an emergency, not during one.
Nothing replaces immediate medical attention, but quick action can buy the minutes that matter.
