MUMBAI – In an interview with News18 on September 25, actress Tanushree Dutta described in detail her allegations of how she was sexually harassed by Nana Patekar on the set of 2008 film Horn ‘OK’ Pleassss.
Dutta accused Patekar of misbehaving with her verbally and physically while filming a dance number for the film. Tanushree bemoaned that #MeToo will not happen unless there is an acknowledgment of what happened to her.

“The thing is that our country has become so hypocritical, and people constantly ask why #MeToo movement is not happening in India, it won’t happen unless and until you’ll acknowledge what happened with me in 2008,” said Tanushree.
Since then, actors like Farhan Akhtar, Priyanka Chopra, Anurag Kashyap, Sonam Kapoor, and Renuka Shahane have come out in Tanushree’s support. Hollywood actress Freida Pinto is the latest celebrity to add her voice to the growing support for Tanushree.

Urging others to come forward Pinto said, “Even if someone speaks up (and in Tanushree’s case- speaks up AGAIN) 10 years later, it doesn’t dilute or nullify a factual, verified, double verified truth. Her story is not a carton of milk that expires after a few days, ready to be discarded. So trolls: please do what you do best but it is not going to change the Truth.”
