Veteran Indian actor Sameer Khakhar, best known for his roles in TV shows such as Nukkad, died on Wednesday. The news of the actor's demise was confirmed by his brother Ganesh. He was 71.
Sameer, who was seen in Salman Khan's film Jai Ho, died due to multiple organ failure. According to a report, Sameer also suffered from respiratory issues and urinary issues.
"He experienced some respiratory issues yesterday morning, we called the doctor home and he asked to get him admitted. So we took him to the hospital and he was admitted to the ICU. He then had multiple organ failures and today at 4.30am he passed away," Ganesh said.
After learning about the unfortunate news, filmmaker Hansal Mehta paid a heartfelt tribute. "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," he wrote.
Sameer Khakhar's career spanned nearly four decades. He rose to fame with his roles in TV shows 'Nukkad' and 'Circus'. He was also featured in 'Shrimaan Shrimati', and 'Adaalat'.
