8 Oct
Summary
- Patekar prioritized playing carrom over interviews with fans.
- He once gifted money to a couple at his wedding anniversary.
- The actor preferred tea made by villagers over hotel offerings.
Rajasthan holds a special place in Nana Patekar's life, marked by genuine interactions beyond his cinematic career. During a 2009 visit to Kukas, the actor famously prioritized a game of carrom with a fan over an interview, demonstrating his instinct to break celebrity formality. This down-to-earth nature was further evident when he attended a wedding anniversary, offering a gift of money and an invitation to join him on set.
Patekar's association with the state extended to film shoots, with "Shakti: The Power" extensively filmed across Jaisalmer, Pushkar, and Jaipur. Even off-camera, he often chose to spend time with local villagers rather than returning to his hotel. More recently, during the shooting of "Shakti Shalini" in Dholpur, he specifically requested tea prepared by villagers on a traditional chulha, reinforcing his preference for authentic experiences.
