Philanthropy

Patekar is known for his simple lifestyle[10][11] and his generosity in donating to charities. He contributed money towards rebuilding of the flood ravaged villages in Bihar through the charitable organisation Anubhuthi.[12] All the monetary remuneration he obtained for his performance in the movie Paathshaala was donated by him to five different charitable organisations.[13] When he was awarded the Raj Kapoor award which carries a cash prize of Rs 10,00,000, he donated the entire amount towards drought relief activities in Maharashtra.[14] He also provided financial aid to families of farmers who committed suicide due to indebtedness brought about by drought. He distributed cheques worth Rs 15,000 to 62 families of farmers from Vidarbha region in August 2015 and another 113 families from Latur and Osmanabad districts of Marathwada in September 2015.[15][16]

In September 2015, Patekar established the Naam Foundation, with fellow Marathi actor Makarand Anaspure, which works to provide aid to farmers overcome by drought conditions in Maharashtra.[17]

Controversy

In 2008, Tanushree Dutta accused Nana Patekar of sexually harassing her on the sets of the movie Horn 'Ok' Pleassss. In March 2008, she filed a complaint with 'CINTAA'(Cine & TV Artists Association) but no action was taken then. This allegation was repeated in an interview in 2013[22] and again made in 2018. In late 2018, CINTAA apologized to Tanushree admitting that the "chief grievance of sexual harassment wasn't even addressed[in 2008]" but added that since the case was more than three years old, they could not reopen it.[23][24][25][26][27]
