The 62-year-old actor, who was here to attend a programme organised by Thane police, also came down heavily on people receiving these kind of honours. u00a0<img alt="Nana Patekar" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/sep/Nana-Patekar_4.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 419px;" /> &quot;Anybody and everybody gets up and forms any organisation and institutes a Lifetime Achievement Award and they also accept it,&quot; he said without naming anyone. &quot;It is not a crime...but I won&#39;t accept it...How can you evaluate my life&#39;s cost as Rs 1 lakh...Rs 5 lakh... Rs 10 lakh,&quot; he wondered. 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 today, Patekar said that we have become a society devoid of cordiality and unity. &quot;It needs do some soul searching... to realise what they were doing was wrong,&quot; the said. On the recent Delhi gang rape case, Patekar said the society should be &quot;ashamed&quot; of such ghastly incidents. &quot;Just by lighting candles, the problem will not be solved. The candles should turn into weapons for self defence.&quot; Other speakers included Loksatta Editor Girish Kuber and cyber law expert Prashant Mali. u00a0
