A couple of years later, veteran actor Dimple Kapadia, who has shared the silver screen with Nana Patekar in Tum Milo Toh Sahi, had also spoken about the actor, calling him “obnoxious”.
In an interview aired in 2010, Dimple, when asked about her experience of working with Nana, had said: “He is obnoxious in a good way and a bad way. As far as his talent goes, there’s no match to him. And when you have a talent like him toh sab kuch maaf hai, meri jaan bhi le lo. That’s the effect it has on me.”
She added: “As a person, with me, he has been very very kind and a good friend, but I have also seen his terrible side, his dark side. We all have a dark side, which is nicely and safely kept aside.”
Tanushree Dutta, the former beauty queen, also alleged recently that film director Vivek Agnihotri had asked her to “strip and dance” to give cues to actor Irfan Khan for a close-up shot on the sets of Chocolate: Deep Dark Secrets in 2005.
