Nana Patekar has refused to accept a Lifetime Achievement Award. According to the veteran, people making beneficial contributions to the society merit such awards and not him.
"Anybody and everybody gets up and forms any organisation and institutes a Lifetime Achievement Award and they also accept it," Patekar said without identifying anyone. The 62-year-old actor was speaking at a function organised by Thane police.

Nana Patekar has refused to accept a Lifetime Achievement Award. According to the veteran, people making beneficial contributions to the society merit such awards and not him.
"Anybody and everybody gets up and forms any organisation and institutes a Lifetime Achievement Award and they also accept it," Patekar said without identifying anyone. The 62-year-old actor was speaking at a function organised by Thane police.
He also came down heavily on people receiving these type of honours. "It is not a crime...But I won't accept it...How can you evaluate my life's cost as Rs 1 lakh...Rs 5 lakh... Rs 10 lakh," he asked.
Lifetime Achievement awards are given by various organisations to recognise contributions of persons over the whole of a career, in any particular field.
Earlier, participating in a seminar on ways to overcome crime in the society
organised by Thane police on the occasion of Maharashtra Police Raising Day,the revered actor said that we have become a society devoid of cordiality and unity.
