As part of the promotion of Welcome Back in August 2015, Nana Patekar told Bombay Times, “When I was just 13, we went from being middle class to lower middle class and finally lower class, as someone close to my father took away everything he had, including his property.

All of a sudden, I started working at the age of 13.After school, I would go walk up and down eight kilometres to Chunabhatti to paint film posters to make Rs 35 per month and get a meal a day.I was in Class IX, but that humiliation and hunger taught me so much that I didn't need to go to any acting school.”


He confessed, “I used to go land up at some friend's place at lunch time or dinner time and say, 'Hi.

Hello.How are you?' hoping that he may ask me and insist that I have a roti.So, for me there can be no fragrance better than that of a chapati.”


He added, “Fortunately or unfortunately, I don't eat sweets today.

I used to like them so much at that time, but since I could not get them then, till today I don't eat sweets.Today, sweets are like gold for me; I will not eat.”


Towards the end of the interview, Nana Patekar said, “Somewhere I am a little obsessed with death now.

When I see people celebrating, I feel, what kind of celebration is this?Is this going to last forever?”


He also said, “From the beginning, I don't have that fear of death.

I am not afraid of getting into anything in front of me and I will go and catch the person who is wrong, whether he is holding a gun or whatever else.I don't worry about the consequences.”
