“Kaise batau, mere liye tum kaun ho... This is an amazing line. However you say it, the feeling changes with it, whether it's pain, romance or intensity. Wajood is one of my favourite films, and the biggest reason is Nana Patekar ji's acting. Malhar's restlessness and pain felt so real that it was hard to tell the character and the actor apart. Miss you, #NanaPatekar Sir.”

“Nana was really good in almost every movie he did. My favourite movie of him is Ab Tak Chhappan, played a brilliant cop with such calmness and calculated authority, ruthless with criminals but warm with family. That something only Nana could pull off. What an actor! What a loss! RIP king #NanaPatekar”

From the intensity of Parinda and Krantiveer to the emotional depth of Agni Sakshi and Natsamrat, from the raw realism of Ab Tak Chhappan and Raajneeti to the unforgettable humour of Welcome he proved that versatility is not about changing your face, but changing your entire presence.”

“Rest in peace, Nana Patekar ji. When I was a kid, I remember seeing the CDs of Parinda, Krantiveer and Agnisakshi at home. My father used to watch them every now and then. Your voice, intensity and performances were truly one of a kind. Om Shanti”
