  • In 2016, he supported the ban of Pakistani artists in Bollywood and said, “Pakistan, artistes come later. My nation comes first. I don’t know anyone except my country and don’t want to know anything else. Artistes are small insects in front of the nation, we are worth nothing compared to the country. I don’t want to know what Bollywood says. I was in the army for two years. Our jawans are the real heroes. We are ordinary, useless people. Do not pay attention to what we say. Do you understand whom am I talking about? Humalog jo patar patar karte hain, unpe dhyan mat do. Unki aukat nahi utni.”

FAQs

Was Nana Patekar a soldier?

What will be the outcome of Tanushree Dutta #MeToo against Nana Patekar?

The only reason Tanushree Dutta’s case has taken off this far is that she has accused Nana Patekar who is not an A-lister. Had it been SRK, Aamir, Akshay, or Salman, nobody from the Bollywood fraternity would have put forward a single tweet. It is always easier to target the one, not in power. For #MeToo to become a success in Bollywood, the so-called (faux) feminists (PC, Sonam, Aish, Anushka, Deepika, etc) need to take a stand and name-and-shame those who indulge in such activities rather than just tweeting #IStandWithTanushree.

Is Nana Patekar an underrated actor?

No, he is not at all an underrated actor. The problem with Nana Patekar’s acting is he has to repeat himself many times for a similar kind of role so people are not amused by him for every movie like he has done many films very loudly and the same way he has done challenging roles also but he has created certain boundaries. There are many actors in Bollywood who has done this kind of thing and that is the reason they don’t get many films.

Why do people respect Mr. Nana Patekar?

Mr. Nana Patekar is a very down-to-earth personality and he doesn’t have infinite egos like the fake heroes like SRK have. He is not like the retards like Anurag Kashyap and other pseudo-Indians who have no better jobs than displaying infinite egos. He is also very friendly with people, although he has a bit of a short-tempered attitude sometimes. But that’s just it. He is downright patriot. You should have seen how he slammed those actors of Bollywood who were against banning Pakistani actors.
