Veteran actor Nana Patekar’s son Malhar Patekar took to social media to post a heartfelt tribute to Maharashtra’s Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, sharing a few personal pictures from Nana’s farmhouse located on the outskirts of Pune.
The photos show Ajit Pawar, fondly referred to as “Dada”, visiting the farmhouse for a private lunch, with Malhar hinting at the deep bond the two families shared over the years. Sources close to the family say Ajit Pawar and Nana Patekar often shared quiet, private moments away from the public eye, reflecting a long-standing personal connection.
In an emotional note, Malhar wrote,
“The passing away of Honourable Ajit Dada Pawar Saheb is a personal loss to us. He is family to us, and will remain so all our lives. Unforgettable memories with him, and hence irreparable damage done.”
