Tanushree Dutta makes Bold Statements, Asks Neha if she got a Taste of Harassment; Slammed Sony

Tanushree Dutta is yet again making headlines, this time for making some bold statements. The actress who started the #MeToo campaign has come out in support of Sona Mohapatra and slammed Sony Television, Anu Malik and has even called out singer Neha Kakkar.

In her official statement, Tanushree has asked Neha that if she got a taste of harassment when her fan forcibly kissed her on National television.

Her statement reads: 

I want to stand up, raise my hands up and applaud Sona Mohapatra along with others for fighting the good fight against Anu Maliks reinstatement in Indian Idol. What shocks me most in this ordeal is how Sony Tv which is supposed to be a family friendly channel has allowed such a person to remain as a judge when several educated,talented,highly accomplished, intelligent,high profile women have come forward with their stories of embarrassment against him.

I mean are TRP more important that our human values?? What are our values then?? and shouldn't people who misbehave be held accountable for their deeds?? And why reinstate him at all after all those allegations surfaced??

This seriously brings into question the mindset of the channel team as well as the creators and management of the show. This also puts serious doubts on the mindset of the co- judges who agreed to be a part of the show especially Neha Kakkar who is also a successful woman singer herself much like Sona, Neha Bhasin and Alisha Chennai.

Anyways Neha might have got a taste of what it feels like to be harassed that too on TV not too long ago when a fan forcibly kissed her much to the shock of the whole nation!! But again like her decision to work with Mallik, Neha decided not to press charges on the the disgusting guy who humiliated her in front of millions!! It was super creepy and cringe worthy to watch a female celebrity being mauled like that on TV and What an example to set in front of the new generation by using that clip to promote the show Sony TV!!

Not acceptable by any means.

Also why not celebrate brave,bold and dynamic women like Sona Mohapatra who fight the good fight despite losing jobs,peace of mind and health??

These bravados should be promoted because the world will be a better place because of them #replaceAnumallikwithSonaMohapatra
