After actress Tanushree Dutta accused veteran actor Nana Patekar of sexual harassment on the sets of Horn Ok Pleassss in 2008, many women from the industry and outside came out narrating their #MeToo stories. The actress filed the complaint against Nana and the investigation is going on following which the latter stepped down from Housefull 4. Amidst all this, Rakhi Sawant called a press conference, a couple of days back and called Tanushree a liar.
She went on to say that Tanushree is cooking up stories in order to malign Nana’s image. Rakhi made many controversial statements that didn’t go down well with the actress. Now, she has proceeded to slap Rs 10 Crore defamation suit against Rakhi. While speaking to Republic TV, Tanushree’s lawyer said, “We have filed a criminal and civil defamation case against Rakhi Sawant for maligning my client’s character and image. If she fails to revert, she will be punished for two years or fined or both.”
Nana was questioned by CINTAA on the case. He responded stating that accusations levelled against him by the actress are false and baseless.
Lately, Tanushree also slammed CINTAA for failing her again. She also lashed out at the makers of Housefull 4. She said, “After reports that Nana has been asked to step down from Housefull 4 because Fox star India and the lead star Akshay Kumar wants to disassociate themselves from those accused of sexual harassment, a new report suggests that his scenes (all of 6 days worth of shoot) will not be cut from the film and will be retained in the final cut. What kind of disassociation is this? Or was that also to just save face?? Just another farce to maintain image.”
From Alok Nath to Vikas Bahl, many big names have been added to the list of accusers.
