AICWA criticizes Tanushree Dutta's statement about Nana Patekar after his death

The Association of Indian Cinema Workers (AICWA) sharply criticized Tanushree Dutta's reaction to the death of Nana Patekar. After Nana's passing, Tanushree posted the phrase 'Evil Dead' on social media, which drew a strong reaction from the organization.

The founder and chairman of AICWA, Suresh Shyamlal Gupta, called her statement 'cheap publicity' and condemned such a remark amidst the widespread mourning in the film industry.

In an official statement, AICWA noted that the organization strongly condemns Tanushree Dutta's comment about Nana Patekar following his demise. It was emphasized that Nana Patekar was a respected figure in the country who worked for the good of the state, and that the entire nation, including the Prime Minister and ordinary citizens, mourns him.

AICWA stated that Tanushree Dutta referred to Nana Patekar as 'Evil Dead' for cheap publicity. The organization stressed that no one in Indian history had previously used such words after someone's death as Tanushree Dutta did, and that using such words after death is inhumane.

AICWA addressed Tanushree Dutta, advising her to go to London or Lucknow, and stated that no one is interested in her personal involvement. However, the entire nation is interested in Nana Patekar. The association accused her of tarnishing the reputation of the entire Indian film industry, reminding that Nana was an outstanding actor who built his fame through his own efforts.

AICWA also stated that such a statement has never been made in the industry after anyone's death, and that Tanushree is the first, urging her to be the last. The organization reminded that representatives of this industry know when to speak and when to remain silent, and that she should control her language.

Furthermore, mocking Tanushree, AICWA asserted that people are not interested in her upcoming events in Lucknow or London. The statement mentioned that discussing one's own plans and events on a day when the entire nation mourns a giant demonstrates narrow-mindedness.

After Nana's death, Tanushree reacted to Nana Patekar's death on Instagram, saying that she 'heard the news' but prefers to focus on her professional event in Lucknow. She expressed concern that the media would be interested in 'Evil Dead' until evening.

Hospital Director Discusses Nana Patekar's Death: He Passed Away an Hour Before Arriving at the Hospital

Legendary Bollywood actor Nana Patekar passed away at the age of 75. After his health deteriorated at his home in Goa, he was taken to Manipal Hospital, but despite all medical efforts, he could not be saved.

Dr. Shekhar Salkar, head of the oncology department at Manipal Hospital in Goa, provided detailed information to Aajtak.in regarding the cause of his death and the events of that night.

Dr. Shekhar stated that Nana Patekar had already died before reaching the hospital; his death occurred approximately an hour prior. The medical team received notification about Nana's condition around 4:18–4:20 AM. When they arrived at the scene, Nana was unconscious, and there were no signs of vital response from his body. After being transported to the hospital, he was declared dead, even after CPR was administered for about 45 minutes, as his pulse did not recover. It is presumed that his death occurred around 3:30 AM.

Dr. Salkar explained that according to medical protocols, patients arriving in emergency situations undergo CPR for 45 minutes to give a chance of survival. However, this was unsuccessful in Nana's case. He noted that if the patient had received immediate medical attention and CPR had started right after cardiac arrest, the chances of survival might have been higher.

Dr. Shekhar recounted that Nana's condition began to worsen during the night, between 1:30 and 2:30. He exhibited heavy sweating, sharp chest pain radiating to his left arm, and difficulty breathing—symptoms characteristic of a heart attack. There is a suspicion that Nana died from cardiac arrest caused by a heart attack that occurred at his home. The exact cause will be determined after an autopsy.

He added that heart attacks are often associated with arterial blockages. A severe attack can disrupt the heart's electrical rhythm, leading to cardiac arrest. Although not every heart attack results in cardiac arrest, in Nana's case, it happened due to a severe heart attack. The doctor emphasized that if he had received CPR or been transported to the hospital in time when symptoms appeared, his life could have been saved, but the delay in transport became a critical factor.

When asked how a heart attack could occur in someone who appeared healthy and active, Dr. Shekhar replied that external physical fitness does not guarantee complete heart health. Considering Nana's age—75 years—and his smoking history, diseases could have developed in his body that remained unnoticed for a long time. Heart diseases can exist without obvious symptoms.

Thus, even with good physical condition, the risk of a heart attack or cardiac arrest cannot be completely ruled out. In such situations, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention upon the appearance of any symptoms. The first hour is decisive.

Nana Patekar's death once again highlights the importance of promptness in cardiac emergencies. If a person suddenly experiences severe or crushing chest pain, shortness of breath, cold sweats, fainting, or sudden loss of consciousness, one should not wait. If a person is unconscious and not breathing normally, emergency help must be called immediately, and CPR should be started.

In Dr. Shekhar's opinion, people need to know the basics of CPR, as the time spent traveling to the hospital after cardiac arrest can be the difference between life and death. He advised that in such emergencies, one should always call relatives or friends to provide accurate information about the victim's condition. The incident of Nana Patekar's death should teach people to go to the hospital at the first sign of a heart attack and to learn CPR skills.
