TANUSHREE DUTTA, Actor
ACCUSATION
“A lewd dance step was introduced on the insistence of #NanaPatekar (on the film sets of Horn OK Pleassss in 2008) so that he could touch me inappropriately. They made me go through hell and, till today, no one has condemned their actions”
11: 50 pm: “I am sorry to bring this up—but I was thinking of the harassment you had to face…” 11.54 pm: “Nobody dares to mention M.J. Akbar. Wonder why. He has single-handedly destroyed so many lives and careers” 11.57 pm: “He used to take young journalists with him to cover prime assignments and then call them over at night. Those who did not obey were ruined” 11.59 pm: “Hell. Should we just anonymously call him out?”
NANA PATEKAR, Actor
DEFENCE
“What was the truth 10 years ago remains the same today and will continue to be tomorrow as well... My lawyer has advised me not to speak on the matter. Hence, I am silent”
