Veteran actor recalling his personal association with Nana Patekar
“I used to visit Nana Patekar's Matunga residence every year during Ganesh Chaturthi. This year I couldn't go because he celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi at his Pune farm. What a versatile, intense actor on screen and an equally larger-than-life character off screen.”
