‘I had become a victim of people’s perceptions’: Tanushree Dutta further opens up on Nana Patekar controversy
In last few days, Tanushree Dutta-Nana Patekar controversy has shocked the nation. Everyday we get to read an another layer of the controversy. Aashiq Banaya Aapne actress Tanushree Dutta reported a case of sexual harassment against Nana Patekar that took place in 2008 on the sets of their film Horn Ok Pleassss. While talking to leading daily about the same, reporter asked Tanushree ‘How difficult have these 10 years been for you?’, to which actress replied saying that she gets angry whenever remembers the incident.
Actress was quoted saying, “It’s been extremely difficult. Whenever I would remember the incident, I would be enraged. Of course, the intensity of it has reduced over the years and now, I’ve learnt to make peace with it. The anger was not just about the harassment, but also the mob attack and the kind of trouble my family had to go through at that time. And despite all this, Nana Patekar goes to a set behaving as if nothing happened.”
She further added, “On top of this, they are standing in front of the media, spinning lies — one after the other. All four of them (Nana Patekar, Ganesh Acharya, Rakesh Sarang and Samee Siddiqui) and the entire Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) gang were against one person, which is me. Back then, the reporting also didn’t happen out of compassion. There was no one raising an issue or speaking out for me.”
Tanushree also talked how earlier she became the victim of people’s perception because of her sexy photo shoot pictures. “Earlier, it would be reported in a way where Nana’s picture would be a dignified one whereas that of mine would be from a sexy photo shoot. The imagery itself had set me on a path of defeat. The perception was that this girl was not good. I had become a victim of people’s perceptions. It’s not just me, I think all actresses are,” said actress.
