Actor Nana Patekar has finally broken his silence over a viral video of him slapping a boy who tried to take a selfie with him on sets of his film. The video has sparked a major controversy, with netizens calling Nana out for being “rude” to his fans. Now, Nana has reacted to the viral clip and said that it happened “by mistake”.
Nana released a video message on social media and clarified the shocking incident. He said, “A video is going viral in which I have hit a boy. Though this sequence is a part of our film, we had one rehearsal… We were scheduled to have a second rehearsal. The director told me to begin. We were about to begin when the boy in the video came in. I didn’t know who he was, I thought he was one of our crew so I slapped him as per the scene and I told him to leave.”
Nana continued, “Later, I came to know that he was not a part of the crew. So, I was going to call him back but he ran away. Maybe his friend shot the video. I have never said no to anybody for a photo. I don’t do this…This happened by mistake…If there is some misunderstanding, please forgive me…I will never do anything like this…”
