The sudden plane crash claiming Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar’s life has triggered widespread mourning, hitting Bollywood hard. From multiplex heroes to political crossovers, stars are uniting in tribute to the influential NCP figure.
Actor Riteish Deshmukh’s X post captured the essence: ‘Heartbroken over Ajit Dada’s fatal accident. An unstoppable force in Maharashtra politics, he shunned sloppiness, spurred peak performance, voiced truths boldly, wielded sharp humor, and won hearts statewide. His absence is a gaping wound. Treasured memories of his generosity. Condolences to family and admirers.’
Madhur Bhandarkar decried the political giant’s irreplaceable exit, standing with Sunetra ji, sons Parth and Jay. Ajay Devgn conveyed dismay and solidarity.
South icon Pawan Kalyan honored Pawar’s public devotion: ‘Shocked by the demise of Ajit Dada in a ghastly crash. His service as Maha NCP head and NDA pillar for Maharashtra’s growth is legendary. Sympathies to bereaved family, followers, and cadre.’
Anupam Kher praised Pawar’s affable nature, Luv Sinha lauded his game-changing politics, and Ravi Kishan prayed amid the Baramati tragedy’s heartbreak.
Pawar’s trajectory—from Baramati roots to statewide clout—intersected entertainment worlds through shared events and alliances. This loss amplifies calls for aviation scrutiny. Tributes reveal a man whose energy transcended parties, leaving a blueprint for committed leadership. As Maharashtra grieves, Bollywood’s chorus ensures his story endures.
