Farzi directors Raj & DK pens a heartfelt note for late actor Sameer Khakhar

On Wednesday, actor Sameer Khakhar, best remembered for his portrayal of the endearing alcoholic Khopdi in the iconic 1980s TV series Nukkad, passed away in a Mumbai hospital. Taking to Twitter and expressing their grief over the demise of late actor Sameer Khakhar, they wrote, “Khopdi from Nukkad had made such an impact on us as kids! He was different and quirky. He was inebriated, but always spoke the truth. Then decades later we read his interview, where he mentioned how he longed to get back in front of the camera.”

He further added, “And we jumped to get him to do a cameo in Farzi. The original elan and improv was intact! With each take he tried to do something fun. Just the outtakes were so hilarious. We were lucky to have worked with this maverick actor, even if for one day! May his soul rest in peace!”


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.

Sameer Khakhar worked in both the film and television sectors. In addition to Nukkad, Manorajan, Circus, Naya Nukkad, Shrimaan Shrimati, and Adaalat, he has worked on several important television programmes. He was last seen in Sanjivani which starred Surbhi Chandna and Namit Khanna.
