KBC 16: Nana Patekar's stories of village life leave Amitabh Bachchan inspired

On this Friday's edition of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, hosted by the renowned Amitabh Bachchan, you won't want to miss the special appearance of the Vanvaas cast, which includes Nana Patekar, Simrat Kaur, Utkarsh Sharma, and writer-director Anil Sharma. The evening's peak comes when Patekar gets on stage to enthral audiences with tales of his friendship with Bachchan and their unforgettable experiences on their extraordinary adventures.

Nana Patekar's life philosophy and village living

Bachchan, realising he should reside in his village, had a humorous and uplifting chat with Patekar, who currently lives there. The actor said that he is not from the industry. He works here and then returns to his village, where he was born and raised. He comes from a village, and he intends to stay there because he feels at home there.

Patekar asked Bachchan, "Why do you work so much?" while informing the audience that he had just entered a room on the set. Visit the village and spend a week there, as it offers amazing peace. Patekar said that he humbly submits to Bachchan for the twelve hours a day he claims to labour for.

Amitabh Bachchan's fascination with village life

As a result of hearing him out, AB said that he feels like going back and living in that environment again. Now he understands why Patekar went back. In response to Bachchan's question about a typical day in Patekar's village, the latter explained that he wakes up in the morning; he has built his own gym there. He takes care of his two cows and bull, so nothing else is necessary. He prepares his own breakfast and lunch at home. Truly, he is an excellent chef. When he was younger, Patekar fantasised about opening a little hotel in case his acting career bombed. However, life has given him far more than he could have imagined. He no longer has complex wants. The evenings bring many novels, some of which he has read and some not. They fill four or five of his cabinets. Walls surround the city, mountains encircle his village, and he lives in the centre of it all. Life is quite simple, as no one has set an alarm. They have peacocks that visit and wake him up in the morning.

"You've truly enchanted me," Mr. Bachchan continued, adding that he really needs to pay Patekar a visit.

Nana Patekar responded that certainly, Bachchan can feel free to drop by, as this house is also his, and he has repeatedly told his friends that it's like coming home.
