| Controversies |
• In 2008, during the shooting of the movie "Horn O.K. Pleassse," Bollywood actress Tanushree Dutta levelled allegations of 'indecent behaviour' against Nana Patekar. After 10 years, she re-erupted the incident during the MeToo campaign and filed an FIR against "Nana Patekar" on 6 October 2018. In June 2024, Nana talked about the incident in an interview and called the allegation a lie. Nana said,
“I knew that the allegation was all a lie. That’s why I didn’t get angry. When everything was a lie, why should I be angry? And all those things are old. They have happened. What can we talk about them? Everyone knew the truth. What could I say at that time when nothing like this happened? Suddenly, someone says that you did this, you did that. What would I have answered to all these things? Should I have said that I didn’t do this? I know the truth that I didn’t do anything.”
Tanushree Dutta later reacted to his comments and called him “a pathological liar.” She said,
“He is scared. People can see through his manipulations now.”
• In 2014, he slammed the extension of parole to the jailed actor Sanjay Dutt and vowed to never work with the convicted star.
• In 2016, he supported the ban of Pakistani artists in the Bollywood and said, "Pakistan, artistes come later. My nation comes first. I don’t know anyone except my country and don’t want to know anything else. Artistes are small insects in front of the nation, we are worth nothing compared to the country. I don’t want to know what Bollywood says. I was in the army for two years. Our jawans are the real heroes. We are ordinary, useless people. Do not pay attention to what we say. Do you understand whom am I talking about? Humlog jo patar patar karte hain, unpe dhyan mat do. Unki aukat nahi utni."
