In Mumbai on Wednesday, veteran actor Sameer Khakhar passed away from multiple organ failure. He was best known for playing Khopdi in the iconic television series Nukkad in 1986. Working together on the actor’s final part, Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK recalled the veteran and shared their memories of him from the Farzi set.

The Farzi web series creators, whose work debuted on Prime Video in February, paid tribute to Sameer on Twitter. “Khopdi from Nukkad had such an impact on us as kids,” they wrote. He was unique and eccentric. Even when he was drunk, he spoke the truth. Then, decades later, we read his interview, in which he expressed his desire to once again be in front of the camera.

“And we leaped at the chance to have him appear in Farzi. The elan and improv from the beginning remained! He attempted to do something enjoyable on each take. The outtakes alone were funny. Even if it was only for one day, it was a blessing to work with this unconventional performer! God grant him eternal peace! “they included a second tweet.
In the drama series, the seasoned actor starred opposite Shahid Kapoor. Farzi centers on an artist named Sunny (Shahid), who turns to money fraud to keep his grandfather’s printing press operating. Both a powerful mobster named Mansoor (Kay Kay Menon), who wants Sunny to forge currency for him, and a determined police officer named Michael (Vijay Sethupathi), who wants to stop him, take notice of his acts.

Parineeti Chopra, an actor, also recalled Sameer. She, Ayushmann Khurrana, and Sameer may be seen in a behind-the-scenes video shooting for the movie Meri Pyari Bindu. She penned, “My favorite co-star and an incredible legend. My most treasured flicks are Hasee Toh Phasee and Meri Pyaari Bindu thanks to your love, wisdom, and humor. Will never forget your smile, your deadpan humor, and most importantly, the priceless lessons you taught me about life. Hello, Sameer sir. Will always remember you.”

Ganesh Khakhar, Sameer’s brother, verified the news of his passing. The 71-year-old reportedly had urinary and respiratory problems, according to a report.
