Tanushree Dutta who has been away from Bollywood and movies for a while now recently returned to the country from the U.S.A. In an interview, the actress spoke about an incident she had brought out several years ago but no one paid any heed to it back then. The actress told the channel that Nana Patekar had intimidated and misbehaved with her during the filming of a song in the film, Horn Ok Pleasssss.
She also alleged that the actor used his political influence to break the windows of her car. She also revealed that famous choreographer Ganesh Acharya, producer Sami Siddiqui and director Rakesh Sarang were involved in harassing her on the sets of the movie.
Tanushree’s story is now getting everyone’s attention and three Bollywood stars have come forward to talk in her support. It’s none other than Swara Bhasker, Richa Chadha and Farhan Akhtar.
Richa took to Twitter to share her views and support Tanushree:
It hurts to be #TanushreeDutta rn. To be alone, questioned. No woman wants publicity that opens the floodgates of trolling and insensitivity.What happened to her on set was intimidation.Her only fault was she didn’t back down-takes a special courage to be #TanushreeDutta.

Farhan who often stands for women’s rights also said her courage should be admired.
This thread is very telling. @janiceseq85 was there at the time of the incident being debated today. Even when #TanushreeDutta had career concerns to keep quiet 10 years ago she did not & her story hasn’t changed now. Her courage should be admired, not her intention questioned. https://t.co/Ola3MNdmtS
