Nana Patekar’s last rites were known for being held late at 11:30 pm, which raised questions about the delay. According to his son Malhar, the delay was due to the family’s desire to perform the last rites in the presence of the full moon. The family wanted to follow the traditional practice of performing the last rites during the full moon, which is considered an auspicious time in Hindu culture. Malhar explained that the family had to wait for the full moon to align with their wishes. The delay was not due to any other reason, but rather a deliberate choice made by the family to follow their cultural and traditional practices.
