Mumbai:

Veteran actor Sameer Khakhar, greatest identified for his roles in TV exhibits corresponding to Nukkad and Circus. On Wednesday morning, the actor died resulting from a number of organ failure, his youthful brother Ganesh Khakhar stated.

The actor was 71. Ganesh stated Sameer Khakhar was admitted to MM Hospital in Borivali in suburban Mumbai on Tuesday morning following respiratory points. “He had respiratory problems since yesterday and later he went into an unconscious state, so we called the doctor at home and he asked us to hospitalise him.

“He was admitted to the intensive care unit of MM Hospital. Slowly and step by step, he suffered a number of organ failure, he was unconscious after which he collapsed. He died at 4.30 am at present,” Ganesh Khakhar told PTI on Wednesday.

Some of Sameer Khakhar’s notable work includes the TV show Shrimaan Shrimati, and films such as Parinda, Salman Khan-starrer Jai Ho, Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra’s Hasee Toh Phasee, Sudhir Mishra-directed Serious Men, and Vikas Bahl’s web-series Sunflower.

His most memorable role perhaps was Khopdi in the classic TV serial Nukkad. Sameer Khakhar is survived by his wife.

The last rites will be held at 10.30 am at a crematorium in Borivali.
