<p>Nana Patekar is no more. The legendary actor breathed his last at the age of 75. He was hailed for his performances, where his mere presence could change an entire sequence. &nbsp;But he always kept his personal life away from the media glare. While he had long been separated from his wife, one of his reported affairs was with actress Manisha Koirala.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Both actors never spoke about it publicly, but they were a huge talking point back in the 1990s when gossip columns were filled with updates about the two. Nana and Manisha had always maintained silence when they were allegedly dating.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But after they broke up in the late 1990s, it was Nana who was unable to control his feelings and went on to say in an interview that he missed Manisha.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In a 1997 interview, it was reported that Nana shared his feelings after his breakup with Manisha.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Speaking about the same, the actor had tears in his eyes and said, “It's a very difficult phase. You have to experience it to know the pain. I can't find words to describe the pain I went through. Please, let's not talk about this. I miss Manisha.”</p>

<p>Patekar was married to his wife, Neelkanthi during his relationship with the actress. However, it has been said that both of them were separated. They are not divorced as of now.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>After their breakup, he never spoke ill of the actress. He even hailed her as one of the most sensitive actresses.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>''Manisha has an inborn talent. She’s the most sensitive actress around. She’s like a kasturi hiran, she still has to realise that she doesn’t need to keep pace with anyone. She has it all and that’s more than enough,” he said.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In the 1990s, Manisha was going through a tough phase and started drinking. In her memoir Healed, she shared, “To take my mind off shoots, to numb myself, I started drinking. If I was on a diet, it would be vodka.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In the same interview, Nana talked about Manisha's tough phase, saying, “I can barely hold back the tears when I see what she’s doing to herself. Maybe I don’t have the right to say anything about her today.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>After Nana's death, Koirala also paid tribute to the actress. She took to her X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, “Deeply saddened by the passing of a great actor, a remarkable presence and a true stalwart of the craft.</p>

Nana and Manisha had always maintained silence when they were allegedly dating. But it was in an interview in 1997 when the actor spoke about the Nepalese beauty with whom he was romantically involved. 

Nana Patekar is no more. The legendary actor breathed his last at the age of 75. He was hailed for his performances, where his mere presence could change an entire sequence. But he always kept his personal life away from the media glare. While he had long been separated from his wife, one of his reported affairs was with actress Manisha Koirala. Both actors never spoke about it publicly, but they were a huge talking point back in the 1990s when gossip columns were filled with updates about the two. Nana and Manisha had always maintained silence when they were allegedly dating. But after they broke up in the late 1990s, it was Nana who was unable to control his feelings and went on to say in an interview that he missed Manisha. In a 1997 interview, it was reported that Nana shared his feelings after his breakup with Manisha. Speaking about the same, the actor had tears in his eyes and said, “It's a very difficult phase. You have to experience it to know the pain. I can't find words to describe the pain I went through. Please, let's not talk about this. I miss Manisha.”

<p>Rekha exudes a calmness that commands every room she walks into, and by room, we mean the world of films, songs, and shows she has been part of. But the world that she ruled for decades and continues to do so even today was not the world that she liked working in.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Born in Madras to Gemini Ganesan and Pushpavalli, &nbsp;both celebrated actors, so acting was in her genes. But as mentioned above, it was not something that she enjoyed in the initial years</p><h3>The girl who didn't love the cinema</h3><p>In an interview with BBC News Hindi, the actress shared that she didn't know what she was doing, and for six to seven years after her debut in Hindi films with Sawan Bhadon, she didn't like her own work.</p>

Still of Rekha

<p>At that time, Rekha was still a young girl and working was not something she was interested in. What she was doing was still a dream for many, but like a child, the only thing she was proud of was that her classmates, who were going to school, would see her on the screen.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>She had been working in Madras cinema since the age of three and was first approached to make her debut in Hindi cinema in the 1960s. It was in 1969 that she came to Bombay.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For the first 6-7 years, she didn't like the world of acting, and the first film she actually liked was Ghar in 1978, the film that made her realize she should focus on acting. While she has done everything to perfection, the fashion icon never actually received professional training in anything, whether it was acting, dancing, or even speaking in Hindi, which was not at all her first language.</p><h3>The 'Ugly duckling' who refused to quit</h3><p>Success came overnight with Sawan Bhadon, which Rekha agreed to. What followed was harsh criticism; she was once called 'ugly duckling' for her dark complexion.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In an interview earlier, the actress shared, "I was called the ‘Ugly Duckling’ of Hindi films because of my dark complexion and South Indian features. I used to feel deeply hurt when people compared me with the leading heroines of the time and said I was no match for them. I was determined to make it big on sheer merit."</p>

Rekha in Silsila

<p>In the first decade of her career, she was the shy teenager who looked like a perfect woman on the screen when she did films like Do Anjaane, Ghar, Muqaddar Ka Sikandar and Khubsoorat; in this film, her character exuded innocence with her bright eyes and two braids.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As she won the hearts, the actress proved that, she was not just a pretty face.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As Rekha once said herself, "It's not the heroine that really matters; it's the role. If the role is good, I can play any role." And that's what made Rekha the person she is today.</p><h3>Becoming her own hero</h3><p>To achieve that, the best part about Rekha is that she continues to reinvent herself. In the 1980s, she broke her shy image and changed her path. Long before it became a trend, Rekha became the hero of her own films, carrying them on her shoulders. Umrao Jaan (1981) won her the National Award for Best Actress.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Then came her Khoon Bhari Maang (1988), the movie that showed a woman in a revenge mode, a genre that was not&nbsp;<br>common back then. Then there was Ijaazat, Silsila, Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi, where her performance stood out.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Not only in acting, but Rekha also became an epitome of style in the fashion world. She chose bold fashion, with bold eyes, dramatic hairstyles and attires that no one could have imagined, and it's something she continues to shine in.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Today, Rekha has turned 72, but even now, when she walks any red carpet, she is the one everyone looks at. That is the grace she continues to carry, outshining everyone who crosses her path. And that is what sums up who Rekha is - the superstar.</p>

Rekha is the evergreen beauty of Indian cinema. Today, the epitome of elegance is turning 72, and here we take a look at the time when she was not at all interested in acting. But as she says, it was a destiny.

India must welcome competition in satellite internet, from Indian and global providers, whoever offers the most practical and affordable last-mile solution for those in remote regions. In countries with lower per-capita incomes, satellite internet must be affordable too. High subscription fees and equipment costs risk putting it beyond the reach of ordinary households. Connectivity must bridge the digital divide, not create a new one.

India knows our networks and spectrum are strategic infrastructure, not merely commercial assets. India’s national security safeguards are non-negotiable. 

Every country makes choices based on its own interests. Those in the West cannot preach free markets while practicing protectionism at home. USA imposed 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs to protect its domestic industry, just as India takes measures to protect its own domestic manufacturers. Both India and the US have restricted Huawei over security concerns. One cannot demand a level playing field from others only when it suits its own agenda.

Indians will internally debate, question and address our strengths and shortcomings as a democratic country. 

Take BharatNet, India’s programme to bring broadband to village-level local bodies. We will question why, as the CAG’s 2026 audit report found, the programme is struggling to meet its original objectives. Why were only 33.2% of service-ready Gram Panchayats operational, despite ₹39,888 crore being spent? At the same time, we know to appreciate our telecom sector and regulations, which has made internet data among the world’s most affordable, bringing millions online.

India is a democracy, not a colony. We welcome the world, but we, the Indian people, will decide our own future - not Western vested interests, their double standards or any billionaire - Indian or American.</p>&mdash; Kamal Haasan (@ikamalhaasan) <a href="https://x.com/ikamalhaasan/status/2108549307230244902?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 9, 2026</a></blockquote>

<p>Singer Sona Mohapatra and actress Sandhya Mridul have publicly voiced their support for Tanushree Dutta after her remarks on veteran actor Nana Patekar’s death sparked backlash. Patekar passed away at the age of 75 in Goa due to a cardiac arrest, prompting a wave of tributes across the film industry and social media. However, public reaction quickly turned hostile toward Tanushree Dutta after she expressed her feelings on his passing, leading Mohapatra and Mridul to call out the hypocrisy of forcing survivors to remain silent or perform grief. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Sona Mohapatra Calls Out Demands to Silence Survivors</h2><p>Taking to X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, singer Sona Mohapatra confronted critics who insisted Tanushree should suppress her past trauma out of respect for the deceased or his philanthropic record.“Death deserves dignity. So do the living. Mourning an actor is 1 thing. Demanding that a woman who spoke up about her trauma just shut up is another #India. Since when did death erase uncomfortable truths? Old age a virtue? Death = Sainthood? #TanushreeDutta #MeToo #NanaPatekar.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In a video shared on the social media platform, Mohapatra acknowledged that while she often finds herself in the minority for speaking out, the public's harassment of Dutta was unacceptable, “Nana Patekar passed away yesterday, a celebrated actor, people are mourning him, understandably so. I have no issues with that. What’s disturbing me is the way people are attacking Tanushree Dutta. Seriously, what do you expect from her?”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Addressing the severe personal costs Dutta bore after coming forward, Mohapatra emphasized, “This woman spoke up about her sexual harassment on sets with this gentleman. Fought an exhausting battle. Faced a public humiliation and professional consequences. And now, she’s supposed to forget her experience and perform what for you? Grief? That’ll comfort you?”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mohapatra also directly addressed women participating in the social media attacks against Dutta, asking, “Really? Is humiliating another woman your idea of engagement?”</p><p>She stressed that honouring an artist's career should not require erasing a survivor's lived reality, “Dying shouldn’t erase uncomfortable chapters of someone’s life.

<p> </p><h2>Sandhya Mridul Reinforces That Death Does Not Erase Abuse</h2><p>Actress Sandhya Mridul echoed Mohapatra's sentiment in a reflective post on Instagram. Without naming Patekar or Dutta directly, she highlighted the long-term impact on survivors when an accused figure passes away.</p><p> </p><p>“Does a person stop being an abuser when they die? Does the harm they caused disappear too? For survivors, it doesn’t. A survivor lives with it for as long as they live. I will always stand with the survivor.”</p><p> </p><p>Expanding on the point in her Instagram Stories, Mridul noted that public tributes should not invalidate past harm, “A person's death does not automatically erase the harm they may have caused. Abuse does not become untrue because the abuser is gone, and the experiences of survivors do not become less real in the face of public tributes.”“It is possible to mourn someone, and it is also important to remember that there may be people carrying pain connected to them. When only praise is allowed and survivors are forgotten, it can feel like their truth disappears all over again.”</p><h2>Tanushree Dutta and the #MeToo Movement</h2><p>Tanushree Dutta’s fallout with Nana Patekar dates back to 2008 on the sets of the film Horn 'OK' Pleassss. Dutta alleged that Patekar behaved inappropriately and intimidated her during a song shoot, a claim he denied. In 2018, Dutta spoke out again about the incident, catalysing the #MeToo movement in the Indian film industry. Calling out Patekar publicly led to severe professional setbacks, relentless public scrutiny, and a protracted legal battle for Dutta.</p><p> </p><p>Following news of Patekar's demise, Dutta faced significant backlash for referring to him as "evil dead" and posting a video questioning why she was expected to forgive someone who never acknowledged his actions or offered an apology.</p>

AICWA strongly condemns Tanushree Dutta's &quot;Evil Dead&quot; remark on the passing of legend Nana Patekar

The entire film industry and the whole country are in mourning at the passing of Nana Patekar, the Padma Shri awardee, the man who served the nation during the Kargil War, and the artist whose Naam Foundation stood by farmers' families in distress. We pay him our humble tributes and stand with his family in their hour of grief.

At such a time, Tanushree Dutta's statement on social media, in which she used the words &quot;Evil Dead,&quot; is deeply objectionable, insensitive and shameful. AICWA strongly condemns it.

To use such words for a person after his death goes against basic humanity. Until today, no one in our film industry has made such a statement after someone's passing. You are the first, and we pray you will be the last. People in this industry know what to say on such an occasion and when to stay silent. You should have kept a check on your tongue.

You said that today is your work day, that you are going to Lucknow for a big event, and that your whole day is planned. Do your work; nobody asked you. Whether your event is in Lucknow or London, whether you focus or not, nobody is interested. On a day when the country is mourning the loss of a stalwart, speaking about your own event and your own plans reflects a very small mindset.

We pray for the peace of Nana Patekar's soul.

<p>Nana Patekar will be remembered for his distinct tone and his style of dialogue delivery that could make even the simplest line unforgettable. Often described as one of the most authentic and realistic actors to date, Patekar, in a career spanning over four decades, performed every character that came his way with absolute conviction, whether it was playing the lovable gangster Uday Shetty in Welcome or the fiery performance as Pratap Narayan Tilak in Krantiveer.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Remembering Nana, here is a look at his most iconic dialogues.</p><p><br><strong>“Bhagwan ka diya hua sab kuch hai”</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Welcome (2007)</strong></p>

<p>For the new generation, he will forever be Uday Shetty, the soft-hearted don. While his intense performances always impressed the world, his comic timing created a fan base of another level.

<p>Nana was at his most powerful in Krantiveer. As Pratap Narayan Tilak, the man speaking against injustice, he delivers this line in the climax when a crowd gathers to watch his execution.
