Tanushree Dutta is gradually getting support from the industry. Celebs like Farhan Aktar, Priyanka Chopra, Richa Chadha and Swara Bhasker have gone on social media and supported Tanushree. Here's what they had to say
Tanushree Dutta
has been making headlines since the past few days after she accused Nana
Patekar for sexually harassing her in 2008 on-the-sets of their film, Horn
‘OK’ Pleassss. The team of the film in question is supporting Nana Patekar and
refuting all claims. However, Tanushree is getting support from the film
industry. Stars like Farhan Akhtar, Priyanka Chopra, Richa Chadha and Swara
Bhasker have come out in support of Tanushree on social media.
Yesterday, we had
reported to you about journalist Janice Sequeira- a witness to the
incident. In a thread of tweets she narrated the whole incident as she saw it
on the sets happening right in front of her. Her twitter thread was shared by
Farhan Akhtar, who in support of Tanushree wrote, "This thread is very
telling. @janiceseq85 was there at the time of the incident being debated
today. Even when #TanushreeDutta had career concerns to keep quiet 10 years ago
she did not & her story hasn’t changed now. Her courage should be admired,
not her intention questioned (sic)."
