Writer Defends Nana Patekar’s Temper and Farmers’ Support
Writer Ranbir Pushp spoke about actor Nana Patekar’s personality.
He said people may misunderstand Nana’s angry behavior.
Pushp recalled that Nana decided not to buy a very expensive car after seeing families affected by farmer suicides.
He said Nana wanted the money to help those families instead.
The reports disagree about whether each family received Rs 15,000 or Rs 15 lakh.
Pushp also connected Nana’s farmer support with the NAAM Foundation.
He described Nana stopping a driver who threw a plastic bottle onto the road.
Pushp said Nana’s anger in that situation was meant to teach the driver about civic responsibility.
He also said Nana and Manisha Koirala were close but could not confirm whether they were romantically involved.
Screenwriter Ranbir Pushp defended Nana Patekar against claims that his temper causes harmful behavior or financial losses for producers.
Pushp said Patekar abandoned plans to buy a luxury car worth Rs 1.5 crore and redirected the money to families affected by farmer suicides.
The reports differ on the alleged distribution, citing either Rs 15,000 cheques or Rs 15 lakh for each family.
Pushp linked Patekar’s support for farmers to the NAAM Foundation and said the actor lives on a farm.
Pushp described Patekar confronting a driver who littered, and said he could not confirm whether Patekar and Manisha Koirala had a romantic relationship.
