Here are renowned actor Nana Patekar's views on various aspects of his life!
The Times of India published an interesting interview. Nana is not only a brilliant star, but also a great human being who has donated his own money to support India's suffering farmers. Nana Patekar, who hails from a small village in Alibaug, came before Irrfan Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. His film, "Welcome Back," is set for release, and he reprises his role from the first film.
Nana Patekar at a time when he couldn't afford to eat
I used to go over to a friend's house for lunch or dinner and say, "Hello." Hello there. 'How are you doing?' I'm hoping he'll inquire and demand that I eat roti. So there is no scent that compares to that of a chapati for me.
Smita Patil inspired Nana Patekar to pursue acting
Smita Patil, who was already working in films and knew me from Pune, introduced me to the industry. I was hesitant, but she insisted. For a part in Aaj Ki Awazand, she introduced me to Ravi Chopra.
Nana Patekar on why people believe he's an angry person
I believe it's because of the embarrassment I experienced at the time. When I think about how people handled me, tears well up in my eyes. I've been employed for 51 years, starting at the age of 13. Actually, I felt weak and inferior, which manifested itself as anger.
Nana Patekar talks about how he doesn't want to hit people
I don't like to lift my fist, and I've only ever hit Malhar, my 30-year-old son. I'm tempted to hit people, but I don't. Really, when I encounter people who make me angry, I get tears in my eyes.
Nana Patekar explains why he celebrates Ganapati despite not believing in God
Since my father used to do it, and after he died, I simply followed my mother's instructions. It's a time when everybody comes to visit you for those ten days.
Nana Patekar speaks about his mother
When I think of her, I become disabled. I know she's 94 and could pass away at any moment, so I'm terrified whenever I get a call from home. She is unable to see and is still breathing as a result of my presence. If she knows I'm going out, she'll clutch my hand and sob. She now resembles my girl.
Nana Patekar on Neelkanti, his wife
She is a brahmin, and brahmins are intelligent individuals. She is a lovely person who is completely genuine and happy with everything she has. She was employed as a bank officer. And, though I would be paid ‘750 per month (as I was paid ‘50 per show), she was paid ‘2,500 per month.
Nana Patekar on, his wife, is a strong supporter of him
‘Do whatever job you want to do,' she had said, and I am whatever I am today because of her, 'I know you'll make the money tomorrow if not today.'
Nana Patekar on the death of his father and first son
At the age of 27, I married and had my first child. My father died when I was 28, and I lost my first son two and a half years later. He'd had a split lip since birth and had a lot of issues.
Nana Patekar on no longer caring
I'm not concerned. I'm not feeling anything right now. It makes no difference whether my film is effective or not, whether I am honored or not. I'm a bit obsessed with death right now.
As can be seen, Nana is not one to mice words & says things as it is. He is truly one of a kind.
