Veteran actor Sameer Khakhar, who is known for his iconic roles in TV and films, left for his heavenly abode on March 15 owing to multiple organ failure. He was 71.
Bollywood director Hansal Mehta took to his twitter handle to share some throwback photos of the late actor as he bid him goodbye with a heartfelt post.
Check out his tweet here:
He wrote, 'For some reason I was nicknamed Khopdi in college after his iconic character in Nukkad. My closest friends from the time still call me Khopdi. But I guess it’s time to say goodbye to the OG. Goodbye Sameer Khakhar. Thank you for the memories.'
In an exclusive conversation with ETimes TV, Sameer's cousin Ganesh Khakhar revealed that he passed away due to multiple organ failure. He said, "He was suffering from respiratory issues, then he went to sleep and went unconscious. We called the doctor and he suggested that we admit him in the hospital. His heart was not working properly and had urinatory issues too. He was kept on ventilator, gradually he collapsed at 4:30am this morning."
Sameer's funeral was held today at 10:30 am at Babhai naka crematorium, Borivali.
