Tanushree Dutta has created a stir in the media with her revealations about actor Nana Patekar.

For all these years, the actress was living in the States and has recently returned to India and since then she has been in the news for her controversial statements about Nana.

She has spoken fearlessly about how Nana Patekar harassed her on the sets of the film 'Horn Ok Pleasss', where she was roped in to do a special item song.

In her previous interview, she had revealed that instead of letting the choreographer teach her the steps, Nana insisted on showing her the moves himself. He sent away the choreographer and started getting too close to her and invading her private space. She also shared that he told the makers that he wanted to do an intimate dance with her.

Following this misbehavior, the actress walked out from the sets. However, she wasn't spared even after this incident. She further opened up about how Nana later sent goons from a regional political party who harassed her and her family members.

Due to this incident, Tanushree was so traumatised that she left the industry and flew off to USA.

Now, in a statement released by Tanushree, she has revealed that how no one supported her then and how Bollywood only looks up when Hollywood initiates a #MeToo movement.

In an official statement released on behalf of Tanushree, her spokesperson says, "Tanushree is upset about two things. Farah's Instagram post has appalled her. Being a woman herself, Farah has made her stand very clear by going ahead with Nana for the Housefull shoot."

The statement further reveals, "A man who is claiming to be Nana Patekar's advocate is calling up people close to Tanushree and media houses alike, threatening to drag Tanushree to court for speaking up.

Even after ten years, Nana Patekar is still harassing Tanushree Dutta with legal threats and intimidation tactics while the whole world is watching."

On the other hand, Nana Patekar's lawyer Rajendra Shirodkar told India Today that they will "initiate appropriate legal proceedings including filing a complaint fordefamation".

Actors like Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhaskar, Richa Chadda, Farhan Akhtar and Priyanka Chopra have come forward in her support.
