QUOTES BY Nana Patekar


We should judge by talent and work not by community or caste.

I cook anything, be it vegetarian or non-vegetarian. But mutton dishes are my favourite.

We all are Indians, and that should be our only religion. What is the need to be called a Hindu, Muslim, or Christian? Does anybody have any religion or caste at the time of birth?

I will never join politics under any circumstances.

Nobody can do a Govinda as well as Govinda can.

I come from a small village called Murud Janjira near Alibaug. I started doing theatre right from school days and later joined the Sir J. J. Institute of Applied Art, after which I joined an advertising agency.

I'm too blunt and straightforward for politics, but I'm friends with all.

I've lost a lot in life because of my nature.

When my cousin sister got married to a Muslim boy, my family was baffled. All the brothers had abandoned her. But I said there is nothing wrong in it. We have not lost our sister. In fact, we got another family member in the form of that boy.
