Weed out toxic people from Bollywood: Pulkit Samrat

TIL Desk Bollywood/ As Tanushree Dutta’s sexual harassment allegations against Nana Patekar have sparked a debate in the Hindi entertainment industry, actor Pulkit Samrat has requested the film fraternity to come together and remove “toxic” people from the industry. The “Fukrey” actor on Sunday took to social media to share a lengthy letter expressing his stance on the whole row.

“As a part of the Bollywood industry that stands by values such as equality, freedom, and non-discrimination, I feel I need to stand up and address the hypocrisy. The case in point: Tanushree Dutta accusing Nana Patekar of harassment on the sets of a film.

 As soon as the story broke out, I heard the usual talk going around: Why didn’t she say all of this sooner? Why did she wait for almost a decade since the incident? Nana Patekar? But he is such a nice guy. He has done so much for farmers,” he wrote in the letter. Pulkit then blamed the society for “encouraging silence”.
