In 1993, Raaj Kumar and Nana Patekar shared screen space in the film Tirangaa. The movie was directed by Mehul Kumar, and it also starred Varsha Usgaonkar, Harish Kumar and Mamta Kulkarni, and it was a blockbuster at the box office. On Thursday morning, we got the sad news that Patekar passed away in Goa at the age of 75. Well, the veteran actor’s death date has a connection with his Tirangaa co-star Kumar. Patekar died on October 8, 2026, and exactly 100 years ago, his Tirangaa co-star Kumar was born on October 8, 1926. So, the Welcome actor died on the same date as the 100th birth anniversary of the Saudagar actor. Well, this is such an unexpected coincidence.
