To give you some idea on this, check out the stone-faced silence of Bollywood celebs, after Tanushree Dutta gave an explosive interview where she talked about the controversial episode involving veteran actor Nana Patekar. Tanushree had been reliving this painful experience of hers in an interview to Zoom TV's Planet Bollywood.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천SHOCKING!

To refresh your memory, the incident happened during the shoot of the 2008 film Horn OK Pleassss. Tanushree Dutta was to make a special song appearance in the film.

Tanushree put her foot down to his demands and even put the shoot to halt, however, the producer, director and the choreographer were in support of Nana. She also alleged that Nana brought in MNS political workers to vandalise her vehicle leaving her scared.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Tanushree Dutta Blames Akshay Kumar, Rajinikanth For Failure of #MeToo in India By Working With 'Offender' like Nana Patekar- Watch Video.

I could see Tanushree on set, visibly upset about something. , choreographer Ganesh Acharya and a man (who I later found was the producer) were having a conversation, while 50-odd dancers sat waiting. The official version was that the 슬롯사이트heroine was not cooperating슬롯사이트�.

A while later, shooting resumed. Tanushree resumed work, and a couple shots later, joined her. Not long after that, Tanushree walked off set. Shooting halted again. She locked herself in her vanity van, refusing to come out.

Out of nowhere, goons turned up and began banging against the vanity van door. I was told the producers had called them to set. Cops arrived. Amidst this chaos, I got hold of . All he said was, 슬롯사이트Meri beti jaisi hai슬롯사이트�, which didn슬롯사이트t really make any sense at that point.

Eventually, Tanushree슬롯사이트s parents arrived to pick her up. Her car was attacked, the windshield broken. I tried to get in touch with Tanushree to get her version of events. Around midnight, she asked me to come to her place. In tears, she narrated what really happened.

Tanushree told me that after three days of rehearsals, Ganesh Acharya changed every step on the day of shoot. was never meant to be part of the choreography, but coerced the producers into getting him to shake a leg with Dutta.

Later, she said, a lewd dance step was introduced on the insistence of , so he could touch her inappropriately. That슬롯사이트s where alarm bells rang, and Tanushree decided to walk off set. What she didn슬롯사이트t expect was the aggression shown by the producers after.

The chat I had with Dutta hours after the incident was identical to the account she슬롯사이트s come out with now. How could a person슬롯사이트s version remain the same a decade later if there wasn슬롯사이트t any truth to it?
[Our chat was off-the-record, even though she went on to give interviews later.]

For anyone who슬롯사이트s either going to be ignoring or downplaying Dutta슬롯사이트s account as a desperate call for attention and question why she didn슬롯사이트t speak out earlier - she did. Interviews by Dutta were followed by a press conference by where she was branded 슬롯사이트unprofessional슬롯사이트�.

This was a decade ago. It could have possibly been the first instance of a Bollywood actress calling out sexual predators, and her voice was silenced by more powerful men who continued to have flourishing careers. Now she슬롯사이트s found her voice again. Shouldn't we listen?

Things aren슬롯사이트t the same anymore (even though, they aren슬롯사이트t exactly different either). The movement has encouraged women to come out and speak about sexual misconduct in the West. If it슬롯사이트s, in turn, inspiring women in India to speak out, we need to find a way to encourage it.

We all know there are hundreds and thousands of women who are too afraid to speak out against sexual assault and misconduct, lest they be called "unprofessional". They will only speak up if we appreciate - even laud - the courage of , and not look the other way.

Reading both the accounts, it feels really difficult to say that Tanushree is falsely accusing Nana Patekar of misbehaving with her.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Back 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 daughter슬롯사이트s 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 haven슬롯사이트t had anyone saying such things about me ever." Now with Tanushree speaking out again about him, will more actresses step up and reveal more cans of worms? Will Bollywood really have a strong #MeToo movement? Hopes are dim but let's wait and watch!
