A 2008 incident that came to light with Tanushree Dutta's recent interview is the talk of the town ever since the actress came back to India.
Tanushree, now a resident of United States, has been sharing her story with the media on what happened when she was shooting for the song on the sets of 'Horn Ok Please' a decade ago. She called out veteran actor Nana Patekar for misconducting with her during the shoot of the song. While Nana has gone ahead and filed a legal notice on Tanushree, the actress is putting together a legal team to fight back. In a statement, she shared that it is not just a news story anymore, it's a war.
In the light of recent events, Lisa Ray has come out to support Tanushree. She took to her social meda handle and said, "Following with interest and empathy the dialogue that has been opened by actress #TanushreeDutta in India. It’s no secret that women are sized up and cut down in the Hindi film industry and while things are changing, we need more voices to come forward, in sane and clear sighted discussion 🙏 Now when I discuss with friends the #MeToo movement, the Kavanaugh case and closer to home, the voices raised when an actress accuses a reputed Hindi film actor of harassment, I look at my daughters, Sufi and Soleil, and think, how would I want them to be treated? What sort of principles do they need to abide by in the world as they grow? And will they inherit a world that abides by them? #mySouffle #believeSurvivors #changetheculture #daughterlove #futureisfemalebabies."
