Nana Patekar Stuns Indian Idol Contestant with Numerology Query
Veteran actor Nana Patekar recently made a surprise appearance on the singing reality show Indian Idol 15. A promo shared by Sony Entertainment Television on Instagram gives a glimpse into his candid interaction with contestant Myscmmme Bosu that left the young singer speechless.
In the clip, Patekar started by asking Bosu if she believed in numerology. When she confirmed that she did, he presented a challenging question: could she predict who would win the entire competition. Taken aback by the actor’s directness, Bosu remained silent, looking perplexed by the unexpected query.
Patekar wasn’t finished. He further quizzed Bosu about his age, leaving the contestant even more baffled. She looked towards Indian Idol host, singer Aditya Narayan, seemingly seeking guidance or reassurance.
The Welcome star, known for his blunt nature, then delivered a powerful message, easing the tension with humor and honesty.
"
Dekh teri numerology hai woh bakwaas hai na? Tu bejhijhak gaa de — that’s the truth," he said with a smile. The translation is, "See, your numerology is nonsense. You just sing genuinely, that is the truth. Leave the rest."
Patekar’s no-nonsense approach seemed to resonate deeply with the judges and contestants, even leaving judge Badshah, appearing surprised but captivated by Patekar’s straightforward approach.

The Instagram caption accompanying the promo read: “Bebaak Nana bol uthe — agar gaane pe full focus hai, toh baaki kuch zaruri nahi (Outspoken Nana speaks up – if full focus is on the singing, then nothing else is important).

The video sparked a buzz online. Many viewers applauded Patekar’s honesty and down-to-earth persona. Some commented, praising Patekar for reminding everyone about the power of pure talent and hard work, emphasizing that it’s the voice that truly matters.
