Viral video! When Dimple Kapadia opened up about Nana Patekar's 'dark side' and called him 'obnoxious'
In the wake of Tanushree Dutta's sexual assault allegations against Nana Patekar, an old video is going viral on the internet wherein veteran actor Dimple Kapadia talks about Nana Patekar's 'dark side'.
Ever since Tanushree Dutta has accused Nana Patekar of sexually harassing her on the sets of Horn Ok Pleassss during a song shoot, few Bollywood celebrities have taken firm stands and have urged people to not silence woman when they speak up while others including Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan have maintained their distance from the said issue. While Nana Patekar has categorically denied the accusations, the social media is abuzz with their opinions on the said matter.
In the wake of sexual assault allegations against Nana Patekar, an old video has surfaced on the internet wherein veteran actor Dimple Kapadia is talking about Nana Patekar. The video is now going viral on the internet. In the video, Dimple Kapadia is interacting with film critic Anupama Chopra and on being asked if Nana Patekar has mellowed down or he's more stuck in his ways, Dimple says, “I think he is obnoxious.” When asked if she means it in a good way or a bad way, Dimple hesitated for a few seconds and said, “In a good and a bad way.”
She further added that while he is an actor par excellence, he does have a dark side. She went on to say, “As far as his talent goes, there's no match to him. He is an extremely talented man. When I see talent like him, sau khoon bhi maaf hai. Sab kuch maaf hai. Meri jaan bhi lelo. That's the effect he has on me” adding “But, as a person, with me he has been very, very nice, kind and a good friend. But I have also seen his terrible side... the dark side. We all have a dark side which is nicely and safely kept aside.”
Dimple has worked with Nana in several films including Angaar, Prahaar: The Final Attack, Krantiveer, Tum Milo Toh Sahi and Welcome Back among others.
