Former Miss India Tanushree Dutta claimed that she was assaulted by Bollywood veteran actor Nana Patekar, an Indian publication reported. The actress said that during the filming of her 2008 film Horn Ok Please, she was not just pushed but also intimidated by Nana on the sets. In an exclusive interview with Zoom TV, Tanushree said that Nana Patekar has as a history of assaulting women. She said that people in the industry know that the actor is rude to women and has beaten them on the sets. She said, “Everyone knows about Nana Patekar that he has always been disrespectful towards women. People in the industry know about his in the background that he has beaten actresses, he has molested them, his behaviour with women has always been crude but no publication has printed anything about it. She further said, “Everyone has gossiped about this but have never spoken. People with this kind of character speak like this against the kind of character that I have because they say she does glamourous roles so must be glamorous and all. Behind the back, they are so dirty. When you are in the industry you hear so many stories about these actors. But these things never take surface because they are PR packaged very well. They will give some money to some poor farmers. How much they do and how much they don’t no one knows. But all this is just for show.” Published in Daily Times, September 27th 2018.
