This Is Why The Youth Needs To Look Up To Nana Patekar

[KillChillPandey]

 

Nana Patekar was born to a lower middle class family. His father Dinkar Patekar was a painter by profession. Since his early days Nana showed a keen interest in acting and drama. He also actively participated in numerous inter-college dramatic competitions.

Seeing all sorts of hardships in his life and career, Nana Patekar has emerged to be one of the most talented actor in Bollywood. The actor has struggled his way to the top and has made his mark in the industry with his power-packed award winning performances in movies like Krantiveer, Ab Tak Chappan, Tiranga, Apaharan and many more.

Not many know about the other side of Nana Patekar. He is a very serious person in real life who does not really care about what is being talked about him in the media. He is known for his straight forward nature and views, be it on the Sanjay Dutt verdict or the farmers suicide issue.

Coming from a poor family background Nana Patekar landed in Mumbai with bigger dreams in his eyes. He started his initial survival in the city by earning through drawing zebra crossing lines on the busy Mumbai roads. He used this money to fund his education and basic needs.

As soon as he got noticed into theatre, the veteran actor was then flooded with movie offers to which he justified by delivering brilliant performances.

May be a surprise to many, the veteran actor donates almost all his earnings to charity. Not just charity, for 30 years Nana Patekar has supported his friends and their families financially and is continuing to do so. One always wonders that Bollywood Celebs have huge mansions or bungalows in which they live a lavish life, but Nana lives with his mother in a 1 BHK flat in Mumbai Suburbs with a thought that his life goes well even staying in a small house. The actor also recently donated Rs. 15,000 each to the 62 families of farmers who committed suicide.

Thank you sir for being such an Inspiration to the youth. You are someone today’s young generation should look up to.

National award-winning actor Nana Patekar and noted Marathi actor Makarand Anaspure on Saturday donated Rs 15,000 each to 113 widows of the farmers who had committed suicide in the drought-hit Maharashtra.

Struggling to cope with crop losses and burdened by debt in the midst of drought, over 660 farmers in Maharashtra have committed suicide in 2015, as compared to 628 last year. The highest number of suicides were from Beed (179) followed by Osamanabad with (103) and Latur (64) districs.

Speaking to a news channel, Patekar said, "Drought is a natural calamity, you can't blame the government or the authorities for it."

Though he doesn't blame the authorities, Patekar does want popular leaders from all the parties to come together to help the farmers. "I feel leaders like Sharad Pawar (NCP chief), Narayan Rane (Congress leader), and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis should come together to fight the crisis," Patekar told PTI.

Patekar also feels that there should be some sort of price regularisation for the farmers' produce. "Farmers will not see good days unless their produce gets a guaranteed price. A notebook, a pen or even a bar of soap has price printed on it, but the milk that the farmer sells does not have any price," the Patekar said.

When asked what gave him more satisfaction — winning National Awards or doing charity work — the actor told the news channel, "To be honest, going to these places and watching the young widows touch my feet to get the Rs 15,000 cheque is very painful for me. But we must keep fighting."

Shrinivas Aundhkar, director of Nanded-based Mahatma Gandhi Mission for Astronomy and Space Technology, has predicted that Maharashtra would witness rains, with hailstorms, after November-December, which would continue till April-May next year, reported DNA.

Does the farmer's crisis need a 'Celebrity Ambassador'? Odd as this may sound, that's the immediate thought that struck me when I noticed the feedback pouring in for our correspondent Tejas Mehta's interview this week of actor Nana Patekar in Latur in drought-hit Marathwada.

Our team, including Uma Sudhir, Maya Sharma and Tejas, have been travelling to different drought-hit areas of Maharashtra, Telangana and North Karnataka in the last two months; their  reports have ranged from tracking young children as they walked miles for water to a village of farmers' widows to the suicide of a woman farmer who left behind five children. Their stories were good, solid journalism, exploring the root causes of chronic water shortage (where are the crores and crores that have been spent in irrigation schemes over the years?), why state and centre politics have meant that not one of these areas has an official 'drought' yet; at the same time, the stories powerfully narrated the stories of those living...and dying ...through consecutive years of crop failure and indebtedness.
 

Actor Nana Patekar personally went to the seats of farmer widows and handed over cheques of Rs. 15,000 in a small hall in Latur, Marathwada.

Editorially, I was glad NDTV was dedicating time and resources to these stories, but retaining viewer connect in urban India's households for a non 'breaking' story over a period of time was, to put it mildly, extremely challenging.

Nana Patekar changed that.

Tejas ran into Mr Patekar by sheer chance when he reached Latur in Marathwada as part of his journey and was told that the actor was distributing cheques to widows here. There was no well-oiled PR machinery available to inform the media that "access was allowed from this gate at this time and only for 15 minutes". Instead, the actor was in a small hall where the power went off midway. Illuminated only by mobile phone torches, the actor gave cheques of Rs. 15,000 to around  100 widows. Incredibly, this wasn't a one-off event; he had been coming here every weekend for the last month. Why was he here and not in Mumbai's film world at a time when his latest movie,' Welcome Back', had just released, Tejas asked him. His reply: "I couldn't sit at home while farmers were dying". He may not be Bollywood's biggest name, but just this short interview by a star in a real-life setting focused people's attention on Marathwada farmers in a way that a series of news reports across different newspapers and TV channels couldn't - the flip side of being in a celebrity-obsessed society.
 

People turned on the torch on their phones so that Nana Patekar could continue to distribute cheques during a power cut that lasted 5 minutes.

It's not that India doesn't care, in fact, quite the opposite. Whenever we do stories on individual farmers and their families or, indeed, anyone in need, there is an outpouring of viewer support. Corporates and individuals write to us, offering financial help; in some cases, lakhs have poured in for a family where a father has killed himself over a sum smaller than Rs. 50,000. However, when the problem is one which needs systemic support over years, where it can't be fixed by writing a cheque, when it's blamed on government apathy, there's a sense of ennui that sets in. How do we make the stories of Marathwada relevant in Mumbai's Pali Hill drawing rooms or even in Chennai and Bengaluru? Not by shifting focus but by dedicated on-the-ground reporting backed by research and well-told stories. Sometimes, with a little help from a Star. 

Footnote: another political 'star' also brought the drought in Telangana into sharp focus last week. The Telangana Chief Minister, who hired a 2-crore private jet for his entourage to travel to China at a time when farmers are killing themselves every day in his state.
