Mumbai: : Nana Patekar No more in this world. Despite accepting this, some inner truth says that the matter is not over yet. There are some people who, when they leave this world, leave behind the heaviness of their voice in the air, a special kind of anger that used to boil against some injustice and that sudden burst of laughter, which was as clean and pure as the innocence of a small child.
He was an actor, and a very big actor. But perhaps even before that he was a true human being. Mumbai Mayanagari gave him recognition and his films took him to every corner of the country. Even though his characters were different in many films like ‘Ankush’, ‘Prahar’, ‘Parinda’, ‘Krantiveer’, ‘Ab Tak Chhappan’, ‘Natsamrat’, ‘Kohram’, ‘Tiranga’ and ‘Welcome’, the man inside him was the same everywhere. He was a person who could never remain silent after seeing injustice. I always looked at him like a door that never closes completely and when it does, it opens with a bang. in his voice Maharashtra She had that sweet and pungent smell of soil, which when she spoke, Mumbai It reminded me of an empty road amidst big buildings. Two seasons were clearly visible on his face at the same time – one was the scorching sun, where anger against injustice was ripe, and the other was the sudden rain, which was as pure as the laughter of an innocent child.
Cinema called for colors, added colors to acting
A brief meeting with him in January 2006 seems a very distant thing today. The film ‘Apharan’ had been released. Nana Patekar Was in front, but I was not able to see him just as an actor. For me at that time he was an old and dedicated student of ‘Sir JJ Institute of Applied Art’. Such a person, who would have once sat in front of colors and seen this world deeply. He himself said that he is a painter first and an actor second. Many times a person says such a sentence about himself that after that there is no need to say anything else. Nana Patekar had told that Muzaffar Ali He had prepared the posters and publicity designs of the film ‘Gaman’, and he also got a small role in the same film. Cinema first called him towards itself through colours, and then took him forward on the path of acting.
Nana Patekar There was a very soft spot within his hardness, which he always protected very carefully. If they had to help someone in need, perhaps they did not even feel the need to show that they had helped someone. They were exactly like some people in our villages. Sometimes they may not agree with you, but in times of any crisis, you will be the first one to find them standing at your door. Is this not the main reason why the man who was known and acknowledged by the entire country, liked to live in the simple village life the most? The city gave him a big aura, but the soil and the village within him kept him a real person. There was a scent of soil within them, and soil has a special smell of its own—no matter how far you go, that smell always stays with you. Nana Patekar It was the same with .
Nana Patekar He is no longer with us. Some artists leave behind films, some leave behind dialogues, some leave behind their images, but Nana Patekar Some of them have left much more than that—and that is their own unique nature.
