In an old video, Dimple got in a candid chat with film critic Anupama Chopra, wherein the actress talked about Nana Patekar’s temperament. When Anupama asked Dimple if Nana has mellowed down, she revealed, "I think he is obnoxious." When further probed if it was in a good or a bad way, Dimple hesitatingly answered, "In a good and a bad way." Sharing details about the same, Dimple said:

“As far as his talent goes, there's no match to him. He is an extremely talented man. When I see talent like him, sau khoon maaf hai. Sab kuch maaf hai. Meri jaan bhi lelo. That's the effect he has on me. But, as a person, with me he has been very, very nice, kind and a good friend. But I have also seen his terrible side…the dark side. We all have a dark side which is nicely and safely kept aside."
