Nana Patekar recently shared that he lost his eldest son when he was 2 years old. The actor revealed that his son had eyesight issues since his birth. He also shared that he was disgusted by the situation and would often attach himself to social stigma. Nana stated that few things are meant to happen in life which cannot be changed.
In an interview with The Lallantop, Nana Patekar said “My eldest son was sick since birth. He had some health complications. He had trouble in one eye, it wasn't visible. I felt so disgusted that when I saw him, I thought about what people would think, what kind of son Nana has. I didn't think about what he felt or how he felt. I only thought about what people would think about my son.”
“His name was Durvasa. He spent two and a half years with us. But what can you do? Some things happen in life,” the actor added.
In the same interview, he also reacted to Tanushree Dutta's MeToo allegations. He said “Nahin, mujhe maaloom tha jab aisa kuch hai hi nahin (No, I always knew nothing like that ever existed). Mujhe nahin gussa aaya (I never got angry). I am not bothered by it. Kuch hua hi nahi tha (nothing happened), I don't know what it was about. Kuch hua hota toh hum batate. All of a sudden koi kehta hai aapne aisa kiya, hum kya kehte, humne nahi kiya? Iske alawa kya kehte (I would have talked if something had actually happened. What am I supposed to say when someone starts accusing me one day? I haven't done it. What is there to say except for this?).
Nana Patekar was last seen in The Vaccine War. Directed by Vivek Agnihotri, the film also featured Raima Sen, Girija Oak, Sapthami Gowda, Pallavi Joshi, Nivedita Bhattacharya, Vrinda Kher, Mohan Kapur and Anupam Kher in significant roles. The movie is currently streaming on Disney Plus Hotstar.
