Tanushree Dutta’s emotional video followed by all-decked-up clip sparks Internet buzz

Tanushree Dutta, who ignited the #MeToo movement in India, is once again in the spotlight, this time with a mix of vulnerability and resilience.

Earlier this week, the actor shared a heart-wrenching video on Instagram where she was seen crying and claiming harassment in her own home. She revealed that despite years of trying to move on, she continues to feel unsafe and distressed. “I am being harassed in my own house,” she said, her voice trembling. “I just called the police… they’ve asked me to come file a complaint. I will go tomorrow or the day after. I’m unwell. I’ve been harassed so much over the past five years that I’ve fallen sick.”

What made her revelations even more intense was the caption that accompanied the video. “I'm sick and tired of this harassment!! It's been going on since 2018 #MeToo. Aaj fed up hokar maine police ko call kiya. Please someone help me! Do something before it’s too late,” she wrote, urging authorities and the public to take notice.

Following the emotional video, Tanushree shared another clip, but this time, she looked strikingly composed. Dressed in a traditional salwar suit, with a bold black kohl line, a prominent red bindi, matching red bangles, and a delicate nose ring, she posed gracefully for the camera. The visual contrast between her inner turmoil and the confident ethnic look quickly caught the attention of the internet. Many followers praised her poise and resilience, even as she battles deep personal distress.

The emotional weight of her recent videos has reopened conversations around her brave stand in 2018, when she accused veteran actor Nana Patekar of sexual harassment on the sets of Horn Ok Please (2008). Her claims sparked the #MeToo movement in India, though she faced immense backlash. While she filed an FIR in 2018, the police cleared Patekar of the charges in 2019, yet the emotional and social impact on Tanushree has lingered.

As her new video circulates, it serves as a powerful reminder of the silent struggles women continue to endure, both in public battles and private spaces.
