Malhar Patekar says he will carry forward his late father Nana Patekar’s charitable initiatives, calling him “immortal” through his achievements and stating that he will continue the vision behind the work. In remarks shared by multiple outlets, Malhar ties his commitment to specific organizations linked to Nana Patekar’s activities, including the Naam Foundation and the Nirmala Gajanan Foundation.
Outlets also report that Nana Patekar’s last rites are held in the context of public attendance by friends and prominent figures. Several accounts focus on the scope of what Malhar says will continue, including efforts connected to water-related initiatives and education under the Naam Foundation. One report adds that Malhar discusses follow-on work in Marathwada with the Chief Minister, describing the plan as guided by Nana “Saheb’s” vision.
While the phrasing of “immortality” differs slightly across coverage, the accounts broadly agree on Malhar’s pledge to sustain the existing charitable programs and on the public nature of the ceremonies following Nana Patekar’s death.
