Finally, Bollywood actor Nana Patekar was offered clean chit due to the lack of evidence in the sexual harassment case filed by Tanushree Dutta. The actress had claimed that the incident took place on the sets of Horn Ok Pleassss in 2008.

Now, Nana Patekar is all set to resume work with a web series produced by Firoz Nadiadwala after two-years post the allegations. The 69-year-old actor was instantly dropped from Houseful 3 and other projects he was working on at that time. 

The actress reacted to the same during her interaction with SpotboyE as she was quizzed about the senior actor resuming work. She said, “I have been forced to stay away from Bollywood and acting for 12 years for no fault of mine. And people are asking Justice for Sushant? Where is the justice for me? Please don’t let this happen. Don’t let these people get back to work while I still struggle to get my way back from my forced exile and wilderness.”

Tanushree was also asked if she was tired of fighting the powerful lobbies in the film industry. The Dhol actress revealed that she has no time to fight also now.

She elaborated about her life back in the US as Tanushree maintained, “I'm tired of fighting this corrupt system that not only defends bad people but also is too quick to support and reinstate them while I face a constant struggle in my life. I have no time to fight also now. Coronavirus put an end to shows and events in the US. So I had to start training for an IT Job. I had to shift out of the corona-free mountains and move into COVID-infested Los Angeles city. I will be starting a new 9-5 IT job.”

Speaking to SpotboyE, the 36-year-old actress also revealed if her fight for justice against Nana over. Questioning the financial status one needs to fight the case, Tanushree praised Kangana Ranaut and her efforts to continue the dialogue, and fight the good fight.

How do you fight and do activism when you have bills to pay and no support from anyone? That's why I feel so proud when I watch Kangana and others continue the dialogue, and fight the good fight and do the social activism that I'm unable to do because my life circumstances are such now.

- Tanushree Dutta

For the unversed, Mumbai Police did register a case after 10 years but by June 2019, Patekar was cleared of the sexual harassment charges and their report stated that the complaint filed by Tanushree could be 'malicious' and 'out of revenge'.

Tanushree Dutt was known to be the flag bearer of the MeToo movement in Bollywood. The actress’s accusations sparked courage opening a pandora's box and many aspiring actresses started speaking up against the biggest names in the Indian film industry.
