SHOCKING! Tanushree Dutta Accuses Nana Patekar of Behaving Indecently With Her in 2008 - Watch Video
Back in 2008, when the scandal broke out, Nana Patekar had denied any such incident happening.
Tanushree Dutta, who recently made a return to India after a hiatus, has brought with herself a can of worms to be opened. The actress, known for her roles in films like Aashiq Banaya Aapne, Chocolate, Good Boy Bad Boy etc revisited an old allegation of hers in an interview to Zoom Television's Planet Bollywood show. In the interview, Tanushree Dutta had accused veteran actor Nana Patekar of misbehaving with her while they were shooting for the song.
The said incident happened in 2008 during the shoot of the film Horn OK Pleassss. While the movie was a forgettable venture, it was most remembered for a scandal that happened on the sets. Tanushree was to shoot for an item song in the film, but she later backed out when Nana Patekar kept on insisting that an intimate step be added in the song between him and Tanushree.
Talking more about the incident, Tanushree said revealed that the song was supposed to feature only her, but Nana insisted on being part of the song. She later added that, "He misbehaved with me on the sets, grabbed me by the arms and the next thing I know he wanted to do an intimate sequence with me. It was ridiculous." Tanushree also added that her pleas for him to be shunned fell to deaf ears to director Rakesh Sarang and choreographer Ganesh Acharya.

Tanushree had been talking about this incident with reference to the question whether #MeToo movement will gain popularity in India.
Back in 2008, when the scandal broke out, Nana Patekar had denied any such incident happening. In a press conference, he had said, "Tanushree is my daughter’s age and I have no clues about what made her say such things about me. I have been a part of this film industry since the last 35 years and haven’t had anyone saying such things about me ever." Well, not that we are taking sides but Kevin Spacey had also been in Hollywood for years, and look what the #MeToo movement did to him!
