Tanushree Dutta and Nana Patekar have been in headlines recently after the actress accused Patekar of sexually harassing her on the sets of Horn Ok Pleasss 10 years back. Ever since then a lot has been said about the incidence. Tanushree, in another interview also spoke about how filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri had forced her to go nude for a scene in Chocolate so that her co-star Irrfan Khan could get his scene right. While Nana and Ganesh Acharya, who was the choreographer for the film will be hosting a press conference soon, a recent revelation by Tanushree has managed to shock us.
Tanushree recently revealed that after she spoke about the incidence she has been slammed by two legal notices, one from Patekar and other from filmmaker Vivek. While that wasn’t enough, the actress in a statement has also revealed that she has been living in fear after two men tried to break into her house last night. She also added that she has been getting threats from MNS party.
Tanushree said,

Today while I was at home and the police personnel posted outside my home were on a lunch break two unnamed suspicious individuals tried getting into our home uninvited but were stopped just in time by security personnel in the building. Violent threats are being issued against me by the MNS party. I’m being threatened to be dragged into the court and legal system of India.
Tanushree concluded the statement saying that the reason why India doesn’t have a #MeToo movement is that justice is delayed.

And you wanted to know why the me too movement hasn’t happened in India…This is why…
