Tanushree Dutta now accuses Vivek Agnihotri of sexual harassment!

The Nana Patekar-Tanushree Dutta incident has just intensified. Patekar has finally come out in the open and decided to file a case against the actress. Speaking to a channel, the actor said, “What can I do about what one says? You tell me. What does it mean by sexual harassment? We were on the set, and there were 200 people sitting in front of us. What can I say? I will see what can be legally done. It is also wrong and inappropriate to talk to you [media] since you publish anything… I will continue to do what I have been doing in my life.” 

However, the allegations aren’t restricted to Nana. Dutta, who was directed by Vivek Agnihotri in the 2005 film Chocolate, has now accused him of the same allegation too! This is what she said, “This guy (Vivek Agnihotri) wanted me to give cues to an actor (Irrfan Khan). It was an actor’s close-up. It was not even my shot. I was not even going to be in the shot. It was the actor’s close-up and he had to just look at something and give expressions. This director, he told me jao jaake kapde utaar ke naacho, usko cues do.”

She added how Irrfan Khan and Suniel Shetty, who co-starred with her in the film, came out in her support. “The actor was horrified. And, because he had done some work, he could say something. He just told the director, ‘What are you talking about? I can give my closeup. Mujhe acting aati hai’. This was Irrfan. Suneil Shetty also spoke up. He was also there, he heard it and he got offended by it. He was like, ‘Main aayun kya wahaan cues dene ke liye?’ Yeah of course, there are good people in the industry. Both, Irrfan Khan and Suniel Shetty spoke up. Suneil scolded that guy.”

Patekar has responded to her allegations, however, Agnihotri is yet to speak up on the issue!
