During his appearance on Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, a fan asked Nana Patekar whether he knew that his Welcome scene would become a 'cult moment'.

Reacting to this, the veteran actor shared, "I was ready to go after Anees! I was thinking, 'What nonsense is this? Just because we’ve signed the film, does that mean you can make us do anything you want?' But then Anees showed me how to do it— ‘Aaloo lelo... kaanda lelo…’ He said, 'Sir, just do it, it’ll look good on you.' I told him, 'It feels weird, you show me first!' He did it, and I just followed along. And guess what? It worked! So, all the credit for that iconic moment goes to Anees."
