Nana Patekar's Humorous Cremation Plans Revealed
8 Oct
Summary
- Nana Patekar revealed his plan for 12 maunds of dry wood for cremation.
- He humorously explained his wish to avoid smoke causing tears.
- Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma shared the interview after Patekar's passing.
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma recently shared a resurfaced interview of actor Nana Patekar, where the veteran actor discussed arrangements for his own cremation. This was shared following the news of Nana Patekar's reported death.
In the clip, originally from a 2023 Aaj Tak interview, Patekar spoke candidly about his belief in mortality. He humorously declared that his "final property" would solely be the 12 maunds of wood required for his cremation, specifying that it must be dry.
Patekar further elaborated on his witty reasoning: he preferred dry wood to prevent smoke, which he believed would make attendees weep. He quipped that at least this way, he wouldn't mistakenly think they were crying for him at the moment of his death.
Ram Gopal Varma had previously expressed his condolences, calling Patekar the "GOD of acting." He shared memories of their work together, including films like 'Ab Tak Chappan' and 'Attacks of 26/11'. Nana Patekar was reportedly found unconscious at his home and later declared dead at a hospital, with a medico-legal case and post-mortem examination pending.
