Nana Patekar recalls Kargil War experience after George Fernandes granted special permission, referencing his 'Prahaar' training: ‘I was 76 kg, came back at 56 kg’

Actor Nana Patekar, driven by a desire to aid soldiers, requested permission during the 1999 Kargil War. His military training from the film Prahaar played a pivotal role in securing his clearance. Over a span of two weeks, he engaged with Army troops near the Line of Control, faced challenging conditions, and even volunteered at a military hospital. This meaningful involvement deepened his respect for the sacrifices of soldiers.
