Bollywood actress Tanushree Dutta, who has been vocal about an alleged harassment incident that took place 10 years ago, has been reportedly slapped with two legal notices. In series of media interviews, Tanushree recently revealed that she was allegedly harassed by the veteran actor Nana Patekar during the shooting of a 2008 film Horn Ok Pleassss.
Later, Tanushree also blamed filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri of allegedly asking her to strip and dance on the film sets. In an interview with DNA, Tanushree said, “Vivek Agnihotri asked me to give cues to my co-star Irrfan Khan. It was Irrfan's close-up shot and not mine. I was not even part of that shot. In his close-up shot, Irrfan was supposed to look at something and give expressions. This director, he told me ‘jao jaake kapde utaar ke naacho, usko cues do (go strip and dance, give (Irrfan) cues’.”
According to the latest updates, Tanushree stated that she has been slapped with two legal notices by Patekar and filmmaker Vivek respectively.
"I have been slapped with two legal notices. One from Nana Patekar and another from Vivek Agnihotri. Both their teams are on a smear campaign against me by constructing outright lies and misinformation on social media platforms and other public platforms," said Tanushree in a statement.
Tanushree further added, "This is the price you pay for speaking out against harassment, humiliation, and injustice in India."
Tanushree also said that has been getting threat allegedly from Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). ‘’Violent threats are being issued against me by the MNS. 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. I'm being threatened to be dragged to the court and legal system of India as we all know can keep a woman and her supporters as well as media silent on the pretext of 'matter sub judice'," said Tanushree.
Many celebrities including Priyanka Chopra, Swara Bhaskar, Richa Chadha, Sonam Kapoor, Farhan Akhtar, Anurag Kashyap, Vir Das, Varun Grover, Freida Pinto and others extended their support to Tanushree.
