Ever since Bollywood actress Tanushree Dutta has dropped the bomb of charges against veteran actor Nana Patekar for sexual misconduct, many Bollywood celebs have taken the front seat and supported her for opening up about it. While she has earned support from actors like Priyanka Chopra, Farhan Akhtar and Twinkle Khanna, Tanushree Dutta is hurt with legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan over his statement on the issue.
At the trailer launch of his upcoming film Thugs of Hindostan, Amitabh Bachchan was asked to comment on Tanushree Dutta’s allegations against Nana Patekar and he said, “Neither is my name Tanushree Dutta nor Nana Patekar”. On this Tanushree says she was disappointed by Senior Bachchan and said, “I’m hurt, as these are people who do movies on social causes. They play roles in films and the audience applauds. But when it comes to standing up and doing something about what is happening in front of you, there are these evasive statements that don’t make sense.”
Since Tanushree has opened up about her story, a lot is being said about her that she is doing this for attention and for her Bollywood comeback. People are also saying that she is doing this to enter Bigg Boss. However, the actress takes everything with her head held high. She said, “I am the kind of woman who never keeps quiet. If someone did anything, the very next day, my friends, their friends, and people on the next movie set will know about it. I will never keep quiet… nothing can discourage me now. They are saying Bollywood comeback, Bigg Boss… so what? I am not disparaging those inside the Bigg Boss house, but do people really think for somebody who walked on the Miss Universe stage and went ahead to do 16-18 Bollywood films, my aspirations in life would be so limited? Isn’t there anything bigger than Bigg Boss or Bollywood they can think of? Even if so, does that take away from my story or what I have been through?”
She also refuses to come back to Bollywood. “I am through with this Bollywood chapter. I am a US citizen. I was disillusioned, traumatised and walked away despite 30-40 offers. People called and supported me, but there was no public reaction, no condemnation. If I had walked onto another film set after that (the incident on Horn Ok Pleassss), someone would have thought ‘You can get away with everything with this girl. You can even say s**t about her’.”
In response to Tanushree’s allegations, Nana Patekar has said that he would hold a press conference after returning to the city and answer all the questions. He even said that he will slap Tanushree Dutta with a court case as well.
