Tanushree Dutta Controversy: Simi Garewal Puts Out A Strong Message

Bollywood actress Tanushree Dutta recently shed light on the incident that happened on the sets of the film 'Horn OK Please' in 2008. The actress accused Nana Patekar of sexual harassment and for aggressive behaviour. The actress had first made these allegations against the veteran actor in 2008, but her voice went unheard. However, during a recent interview, while talking about the #MeToo movement, she spoke about the incident and narrated it. This incident has gained much traction, with several Bollywood celebrities speaking in support of the actress, while some chose to keep mum. Several eminent personalities from Bollywood came out in support of Tanushree Dutta including Sonam Kapoor, Twinkle Khanna, Swara Bhasker, Richa Chadha, Farhan Akhtar, Kangana Ranaut, Priyanka Chopra and Anurag Kashyap to name a few.

Now, actress and talk show hostess Simi Garewal has sent out a strong message in support of Tanushree Dutta. She addressed the larger issue that is prevalent in the industry and how it has taken away the career of several women.

"#TanushreeDutta I've heard horror stories thru the years of this predatory jungle. Some girls became stars. Others disappeared quietly. Yes they took away your career. They darkened 10 years of your life. But they can't take away your voice & your courage," she wrote.
