Nana Patekar is an awesome performer, as well as an incredible individual as well. He's known for his straightforwardness and generosity. He helped the dry spell influenced agriculturists of Maharashtra, spared their lives. He's a case of how one individual can do as such much, have any kind of effect.

So here are the 5 Things We Can Learn From Nana Patekar!

1. One person can make the difference

In 2015, Nana Patekar alongside his companion Makarand Anaspure set up an association named Naam Foundation to help the dry season influenced agriculturists in Maharashtra. This association disseminated the checks of budgetary guides to upwards of 113 groups of ranchers. He would visit the dry season influenced families, converse with them, and console them. He spoke to the agriculturists, "On the off chance that you ever consider submitting suicide, please call me first," Patekar engaged all ranchers". Rancher suicide issue has been a developing and disturbing issue in the nation. Nana trusts that he's not doing a major ordeal, he's simply doing what everybody needs to do. He trusts that 10 or 100 crore rupees won't give him security, yet helping the agitated agriculturists would give him the security. In the wake of helping them he could feel secure that the human inside him is alive.

2. Showing off is easy, but being true to yourself is hard.

Nana Patekar was born to a lower middle class family, he has faced struggles, but it’s his hard work and commitment that he has become one of the talented and successful actors of the industry. When he wasn’t famous or successful, he earned for his survival through drawing zebra crossing lines on the busy Mumbai roads. Nana doesn’t believe in material possessions, he donates almost all his earnings to charity. He is a man of simplicity and humble lifestyle, he dresses simple, lives with his mother in a 1 BHK flat in Mumbai Suburbs. He is truly an inspiration for the youth.

3. Humanity is more important than any religion.

Nana is a straight forward person, he doesn’t mince his words, he speaks what’s on his mind and means what he says. Speaking once at a school function in Sindhudurga district, he said, “We all are Indians and that should be our only religion. What is the need to be called a Hindu, Muslim or Christian? Does anybody have any religion or caste at the time of birth?”. He reminded us that every religion ultimately preaches that god lies inside us, look for god in a human being. We all have a hero and a villain inside us, it comes down to us to make the choice. If we choose humanity, it will give us the satisfaction and peace. Nana Patekar was served the Indian army during the Kargil war and was honoured with the title of ‘Captain’.

4. Money can make a difference, but don’t let it make you different.

There was a time when Nana Patekar couldn’t even afford an auto rickshaw ride. And now with his success and fame, he can ride in luxurious cars, but he still prefers travelling in an auto-rickshaw. He’s an actor in front of the camera, but deep down he’s still the same simple ordinary person. He says that  stardom is temporary, it will fade away one day and when it does, it will be difficult to deal life without it. So one must never forget where they came from, one must always remember their roots as they are a permanent part of your life.

5. The shopkeeper change problem!

Toffees are not a legal currency. Next time if the shopkeeper gives you toffees instead of the change, then just follow the Nana’s method. This Nana Patekar’s strategy will surely work out. So no more ‘chutta’ problems.
