Nana Patekar Opens Up About His Eldest Son’s Tragic Passing: ‘I Was So Revolted When I Saw Him…’

Oh, Bollywood! The land of dreams, drama, and more drama. Today, we dive deep into the life of the no-nonsense, ever-gritty Nana Patekar. Buckle up, because this one’s a roller-coaster ride through emotions, sprinkled with a dash of Nana’s signature rawness.

Nana Patekar Opens Up About His Son’s Tragic Demise and More

So, Nana Patekar, the man who could make a stone cry with his acting, recently revealed some heart-wrenching details about his son. In a candid chat with The Lallantop, Nana bared his soul about his eldest son, Durvasa, who faced health issues right from birth.

"Durvasa had complications since birth. One of his eyes wasn’t visible," Nana shared. "And yes, I was that shallow actor who worried about what people would think of my son. Self-disgust? Oh, plenty. I forgot to consider what my son might feel." Tragic, isn’t it? But life, as Nana would say, is a series of cosmic slaps.

Nana named his son after the short-tempered sage Durvasa. Maybe he was hoping for some divine intervention? Who knows! But what’s clear is that Durvasa spent just two and a half years with the Patekar family before fate decided to play its cruel card.

The Love Story with Neelakanti

And then, the love story. Nana met his wife, Neelakanti, during a play. Picture this: a bank officer with a salary of two and a half thousand rupees and a struggling actor. She told him, "Do all the plays you want. Money will come anyway." Now that’s some confidence, Neelakanti!

The Cigarette Quitting Saga

Oh, and if you thought Nana’s life was all about emotional drama, think again. The man used to smoke like a chimney—60 cigarettes a day! Imagine smoking while bathing. 🤢 But a heartfelt plea from his sister, who had lost her only son, changed everything. "What else do you want to see?" she asked, seeing him cough. Nana quit smoking that very day. Just like that, folks. Cold turkey.

Momma’s Boy

And let’s not forget the influence of his mother. Nana credits her for steering him away from the underworld, which, by the way, was a family business of sorts. "All the people from my mother’s side were connected to the underworld. She took me away to the village to keep me out of it," Nana recalled. Mothers, right? Always saving the day.

Nisha’s Nutshell:

So what’s the moral of the story here, dear readers? Life is a hot mess, but sometimes a stern word from your sister or a protective mom can save you from a whole lot of trouble. And remember, if you ever feel like life is too chaotic, just think of Nana Patekar quitting smoking while taking a bath. 😜
