Tanushree Dutta and Nana Patekar’s sexual harassment row is getting murkier day by day. While the actress is all set to wage a war with the #MeToo movement in Bollywood, Nana Patekar states that he will fight legally. Since the past few days, the Bollywood celebs have been adding their bits on the controversy with hashtags like #ibelieveTanushree or #believesurvivor and a few similar ones. Now, the Aashiq Banaya Apne actress has decided to take a break from all this until she returns to fight once again.

In a recent statement, Tanushree said, “My throat is swollen, voice down and I'm unwell because of the exhaustion of the last few days. For the last 8 years that I've been on the spiritual path regardless of which part of the world I am, I mostly prefer to live in solitude, silence, prayer and meditation and have gotten used to that peaceful lifestyle. I only come out and interact socially and even speak only when need be for work or other social commitments.”

The statement further says, “But last few days I've had to go all out talking and interacting with press up to 16 hours a day for the sake of this movement and it has drained me out a bit. I'm resting to regain some strength while some other developments take place in the background. I will be back in a few days and join the fight again. This is not just a news story anymore my friends. This is a war that I have been called to partake in for not only my sake but for the sake for countless millions. It is my dharma; my duty as a human being.” Tanushree Dutta-Nana Patekar Row: This Old Viral Video of Mob Attacking Actress' Car Will Leave You Shocked!

Nana Patekar, on the other hand, denied the allegations and stated that he will answer legally.
