Film stars often attract immense attention and are often revered as demi-gods by their followers. Instances of people seeking photos or closeness with these stars are common, but sometimes, encounters with fans don’t go smoothly. There have been incidents where celebrities have expressed anger or frustration towards people.
Recently, a senior actor found himself in the midst of controversy after reportedly slapping a youth who approached him for a picture. A circulating video depicts the incident, sparking significant objections and outrage against the actor’s actions.
In this particular instance, veteran actor Nana Patekar was approached by a boy requesting a picture. However, instead of complying, Patekar allegedly slapped the boy, leaving many shocked by the incident. Following the slap, someone intervened and led the boy away from sight.
The public response has been critical of the senior actor’s behavior. Many netizens question the necessity of such a reaction, emphasizing that a simple photo with the boy could have made his day better. This incident isn’t the first time Nana Patekar has faced controversy; previously, during the MeToo movement, he was accused by actress Tanushree Dutta of sexual harassment, causing widespread shock and concern.
It’s unfortunate when such incidents occur, especially involving public figures, and they often prompt strong reactions from the public and media alike.
