Quotes
Sutapa Sikdar
Writer who wrote dialogue for Khamoshi: The Musical and recalls working with Nana Patekar.
“My first memory of him is everybody standing scared and so terrified of him on the sets of Khamoshi. I don’t know why I was scared of him. I was scared otherwise because it was my first commercial set. But I don’t know why, but he took to me. We spoke and had a very good time. After Khamoshi, he’d also invite me to his home during Ganpati. But as Mumbai is, I’m very bad at keeping in touch with people.”
