Nana Patekar slaps a fan and apologized for the unfortunate incident. Nana Patekar, a veteran actor, apologized today after a video of him slapping a fan who tried to take a selfie with him went viral, saying that he mistakenly believed the fan was an actor in the film they were shooting.
A fan sneaked up to Nana in the video to take a selfie, but the actor grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and dragged him away. Nana later shared a video on Instagram apologizing for any misunderstandings that may have occurred. The video went viral within minutes as Nana Patekar slaps a fan and apologized.
” The video which is circulating on social media has been misinterpreted by many. What actually happened was a misunderstanding during the rehearsal of a shot from my upcoming film ‘Journey’,” the action captioned the video.
In the apology video, Nana explained the sequence of events and said the incident happened in Varanasi. “There is a video that’s going viral, where I am seen hitting a boy. It is a sequence from our film. We had to do a rehearsal where, as part of our scene, a man asks me, ‘Aey budhau topi bechni hai kya? Because I am wearing a hat. So, he comes, I hit him and tell him to not misbehave and then he runs.
“We had done one rehearsal, we had to do one more. We were about to begin when the boy in the video came inside, and I didn’t know who he was, I thought he was our guy. So I hit him as per the scene and told him that he should not misbehave, but then I realized he was not our guy. By the time I started calling him back, he ran away,” he said in the video.
Folding his hands, the veteran actor apologized for his behavior and promised to apologize to the man who was hit by him. “I have never refused anyone for a picture. The ghat is always so crowded, and this scene was being shot in the market. Ye galti se hogaya, humko malum nahi woh kaha se aaya (This happened by mistake, I didn’t know where he came from).
“If there is some misunderstanding, please forgive me. I never hit anyone and I have never done something like this. The people of Kaashi and everyone else love me a lot, I would never do something like this. We searched for the boy a lot because for no fault of his he got hit, but we couldn’t find him,” he added.
