Veteran actor Nana Patekar’s last rites were conducted with full State honours late Thursday at his farmhouse in Donje village on the outskirts of Pune, hours after his death in Goa at age 75.
His son, Malhar Patekar, performed the final rites as a large crowd gathered to pay tribute. Patekar’s remains, draped in the Indian flag, were brought from Goa to Pune and then transported to the farmhouse. The Indian Express reported that female police officers gave a 21-gun salute during the ceremony.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis paid his respects at Pune International Airport. Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Sunetra Pawar, Union ministers Ramdas Athawale and Murlidhar Mohol, state ministers and members of the film industry also attended the funeral.
Patekar died early Thursday after a cardiac emergency at his home in Goa. Doctors attempted to revive him for about 45 minutes after he was brought to a hospital, but were unsuccessful.
Maharashtra Cultural Affairs Minister Ashish Shelar said the State-honours funeral recognized Patekar’s contributions to Marathi and Hindi cinema and theatre. Patekar was also known for supporting drought-affected farmers through the Naam Foundation, which he co-founded with actor Makarand Anaspure in 2015. Malhar Patekar said the foundation’s work would continue.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: The story is broadly supported, but revise the funeral wording and avoid an inconsistently supported title for Sunetra Pawar. - "Nana Patekar was cremated with full State honours late Thursday at his farmhouse in Donje village on the outskirts of Pune, hours after his death in Goa at age 75.": The headline and lede say he was cremated, but the sources say his last rites were conducted and his mortal remains were consigned to flames; the headline wording should match the sources' phrasing. - "Deputy chief ministers Eknath Shinde and Sunetra Pawar": The Hindu identifies Sunetra Pawar as Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister, but Indian Express refers to Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Sunetra Pawar; however Sunetra Pawar's title is not consistently supported across sources in the provided material and the safer sourced formulation is to list them as political leaders/attendees.
