Nana Patekar, the Indian actor who has played quite a few roles where he behaves like an angry man young or not, is not new to controversies. In the latest, his act of rage was caught on camera.
A video making the rounds on social media shows Nana Patekar hitting a fan on the head. The fan was trying to get a selfie with Patekar.
Patekar, who was all dressed up, was seen standing in the middle of the crowd, when a fan tried to take a selfie with him, and what did he get in return? A smack on the head.
Patekar was filming in Varanasi when this incident occurred. The 11-second video was recorded on the way to Dashashwamedh Ghat, the location of Patekar's ongoing film shoot.
