Tanushree Dutta calls Ganesh Acharya ‘a bloody liar’ involving in her abuse

In 2008, Bollywood veteran Nana Patekar was accused of misbehaving with actor Tanushree Dutta on the sets of the Horn 'Ok' Pleassss film. And Tanushree Dutta now has dismissed choreographer Ganesh Acharya’s protection of Nana.

When answering for an interview with ANI, Dutta said that Patekar purportedly badly behaved with her on the sets. However, her accusation in the connection was still not considered.

Adding more details, she revealed that he was pushing her around aggressively during the sets. Then she tried to complaint about him but no one heard. They (film group) were forcing her to do a close step. It was stated in her contract that she had a solo dance sequence not a duet. She supposed it was a way to control her and the whole harassment state was still going on.

The Aashiq Banaya Aapne actor continuously confirmed that after refusing to perform the close step, her family and she were attacked. Dutta claimed that when she tried to run away from it, there was a crowd lynching attack by the media on them while her father and mother were still inside the car. After that, they locked the gates to make sure that we couldn't escape the studio. Ganesh Acharya was exactly the one who forced her to perform a close step. Besides, his good friends including Rakesh Sarangi and Amit Siddiqui was also involved.

She declared that before she and her family could contact with the police to file a case, a counter FIR are already filed by the film group.

Then the 34-year-old actor alleged that before going to the police station, she saw they go and file a counter FIR. Over the next couple of years, there were a lot of people helping her overcome harassment. It included her father, spot boy and hairdresser.

Responding to choreographer Ganesh Acharya's statement on Patekar's nonparticipation in the matter, Dutta claimed that Patekar' was truly a bloody liar and a hypocritical person. But he would never admit it.

Moreover, Dutta confirmed that the veteran actor was not the end target of this debate. But he was the main reason to start this discussion. She hoped the industry could prohibit these people from working as an example for others. You could never run away with that kind of bad behavior.

She supposed she didn't want to set a fire with Nana Patekar or Ganesh Acharya. She just didn't want them to continue working and have to suffer the consequences of their actions.

In a Twitter thread of a journalist, Janice Sequeira, she claimed to have been present on the sets during Tanushree’s alleged harassment happened. So she could be able to support Tanushree in her statements.

Commenting further in the country's rape cases, Dutta said that there are more and more media outlets covering the news. And sexual assault aspect was most noticed. In the last couple of years, these cases have come to the forefront.

Dutta also assumed that if somebody is a rape survivor, then she definitely is going to spend time standing out and speak up. She already spoke about it in 2008. Actually, what a rape survivor has to face up with after harassment is worse than one could imaginate. They not only have to go through physically, mentally but also emotionally.
