Tanna appeared in a supporting role in HirFFFani's last film, 'Sanju' and in an interview with Bollywood Life, stated that she is more than shocked and quite upset with the allegations. She stated that whoever is trying to do this, is very immature and as he is a veteran and respectable director, and she has worked with him, she cannot even think about it.
Hirani has been accused by a crew member of repeatedly assaulting her over several months during the production of 'Sanju', a biopic on actor Sanjay Dutt, starring Ranbir Kapoor. Hirani has denied all allegations as “false and completely unjustified”.
Karishma continued saying that a person who has accused Hirani, cannot just put any false allegations and that the entire incident is quite immature.
