TIL Desk Bollywood/ Bollywood stars Farhan Akhtar, Priyanka Chopra, Twinkle Khanna, Swara Bhasker and Richa Chadha have come out in support of actor Tanushree Dutta’s allegations that Nana Patekar harassed her on the sets of a film in 2008.
In a recent TV interview, Dutta said Patekar misbehaved with her on the sets of “Horn Ok Pleasss” 10 years ago. The actor, a former Miss India-Universe who is now based in the US, also alleged that Patekar had the tacit support of the film’s makers.
In a lengthy Twitter post, journalist Janice Sequeira narrated her account of the incident, provoking many from the Hindi film industry to react to Tanushree’s allegations.
“This thread is very telling. @janiceseq85 was there at the time of the incident being debated today,” Farhan wrote late Thursday along side Sequeira’s account of the incident.
“Even when #TanushreeDutta had career concerns to keep quiet 10 years ago she did not and her story hasn’t changed now. Her courage should be admired, not her intention questioned,” he added.
