Dimple Kapadia and Nana Patekar are both celebrated actors known for delivering powerful performances in several films. Over the years, there were speculations about a romantic link between them, although neither ever confirmed such rumors.
Nana Patekar has also gained a reputation for his intense temperament, often making headlines because of it. His co-star Dimple Kapadia once spoke candidly about this side of him. Read on for the details.
The duo collaborated on films like Krantiveer, Angaar, and Tum Milo Toh Sahi. While both have impressive solo careers, their off-screen relationship also drew attention. Notably, Nana faced accusations of inappropriate conduct by actress Tanushree Dutta, which he firmly denied.
In an interview with NDTV years ago, Dimple discussed working with Nana again for their 2010 film Tum Milo Toh Sahi. She referred to him as “obnoxious,” clarifying that she meant it both positively and negatively. She praised his unmatched talent, saying, “He’s extremely gifted. When you see talent like his, you forgive everything—any number of wrongs. He could even take my life, and I’d still forgive him.”
She added that while Nana had always been kind and a good friend to her personally, she had also witnessed his darker side. “We all have a dark side,” she said, “and his is no exception—it’s just hidden away like everyone else’s.”
After that film, the two did not work together again. On the work front, Nana Patekar last appeared in the 2024 film Vanvaas, while Dimple was recently seen in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya and Murder Mubarak.
