Bollywood actor Nana Patekar is famous for his short nature. There have been many incidents of fierce fights between actors on the sets of films like Parinda and Khamoshi. Nana Patekar recently admitted that he is a very violent person and would probably be ‘in the underworld’ if he wasn’t an actor. He said acting gives him an outlet to vent his pent-up emotions.
Talking to Siddharth Kannan, the actor said, ‘People were afraid of me. I was very violent. I won’t say much, I’ll let my actions do the talking. I am less violent now. But, even today, if someone provokes me, I beat them. If I had not become an actor, I would have been in the underworld. I’m not kidding. I am very serious about this matter. Acting gave me an outlet. It became my outlet for frustration. He shared, ‘I have beaten many people. I don’t remember many of their names. I’ve had a lot of fights.”

He also recalled his infamous fight with filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali on the sets of Khamoshi. “Sanjay Leela Bhansali is likely to return to work, but the way I shouted at him, he must have felt bad. We didn’t work after that. The fight didn’t make any difference in our lives.”
He admitted, “I miss working with Sanjay, but the problem is that I am very rude. I use very harsh words. It must have disturbed him. But, I never tried to clarify anything with him. These small things If we have to explain things to each other, what is the use of knowing each other for so long?
Earlier, while talking to The LalanTop, Nana Patekar shared the details of his fight with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. He said, ‘My wife Seema Biswas’ character has suffered a heart attack. We are both silent, and she is behind me. I’m playing cards. I don’t know what’s going on behind me. Now, Sanjay wanted to look back at me. He said she is my wife, and we have a non-verbal relationship. I must feel from within that something is happening behind me, so I must turn. But I needed a reason to go back. I asked him why should I go back when I don’t know what is going on?”
This led to a heated argument between the two, after which they never collaborated again.
