'We aren't Real Heroes, just Avoid Us' | Andhranews daily

The deadline issued by Maharashtra Navanirman Sena (MNS) led to a serious debate on the ban against Pakistan Artistes working in India. While Salman Khan came in support of Pak Artistes, MNS Chief Raj Thackaray warned the 'Dabangg' Actor about possible ban on his films if he continues to remain on the same stand. Now, One more established actor expressed his views frankly.

Bollywood Actor Nana Patekar responded on the ban on Pakistani Artistes. 'Forget about Pakistani Artistes, I just don't know anything else other than my country. An artist is so small in front of a Nation. We don't even have any value when compared to country,' he said.



Taking a dig at the comments of Salman Khan favoring Pakistani Artistes, Nana Patekar claims he knows who are real heroes as he himself was in the army for two-and-a-half years. 'Jawans are our real heroes. We actors are insignificant. Don't bother about what we say. These people don't even have the status to comment on such issues,' he concludes.

Notably, Nana Patekar pledged not to share screen space with Sanjay Dutt any more after the Munnabhai was convicted of illegal possession of arms during 1993 Mumbai Bomb Blasts.
