Veteran actor Nana Patekar died at approximately 5:10 am on Thursday after suffering a cardiac arrest at his residence in Goa.
Dr Shekhar Salkar of Manipal Hospital confirmed that resuscitation attempts failed after the actor was brought in unconscious with no heart electrical activity.
Away from cinema, Patekar lived a modest life in a Mumbai apartment and ran a 27-acre farmhouse near Pune, following a childhood shaped by severe financial hardship.
