The 73-year-old actor, who is known for his honesty and love for acting, said he can't imagine life without work. "Have you ever thought of retiring? How can I retire? There is so much happening in agal-bagal (around us), so much pollution, so much suffocation," he said.
Patekar expressed fears about life without acting
Patekar further elaborated on his fears about life without acting. "We would have died. We would have gone mad. We would have killed someone," he said. "This is what we have. We can remove whatever we have. What would have happened to us?" The actor's remarks highlight the significant role that acting plays in providing him with a sense of purpose and satisfaction amid the chaos of modern life.
