Former Miss India and Bollywood actor Tanushree Dutta, who came out in the open to speak about alleged sexual harassment she faced in 2008, has said that she is not afraid of threats, according to Hindustan times. A video clip of the actor is available online, where she talks about the subject. In the clip, Tanushree, in a stoic tone, says: “The one who has brought into this world will take me out of it.” She goes on to refer to people who could threaten her and thereby cause her harm. About them, she says, only such people can make such bogus (khokle) threats. The video post, shared on Instagram, read: “Not afraid of threats says #tanushreedutta.” Meanwhile, in a new statement Dutta said that she is ‘appalled’ at Farah Khan for posting a picture with Nana Patekar, an Indian publication reported. Farah’s post came hours after Tanushree made her allegations. “Tanushree is upset about two things. Farah’s Instagram post has appalled her. Being a woman herself, Farah has made her stand very clear by going ahead with Nana for the Housefull shoot,” the statement read, according to India Today. Farah’s followers were quick to criticise the filmmaker. “I don’t find the caption funny at all. In fact I find it absolutely demeaning and trivialising the issue of mistreatment of women. And ironically it’s posted by a woman. Figures,” read a comment. “This is how you support women Tanushree Dutta accused Nana Patekar because Nana Patekar harassed her and now you are taking a selfie with nana and posting on social media you lost all the respect I really feel bad you are No Woman No Woman,” wrote another. Several Bollywood actors such as Priyanka Chopra, Farhan Akhtar, Sonam Kapoor and other have expressed their support for Tanushree on Twitter. Tanushree has also reacted strongly to Priyanka’s supportive tweet in which she had said that it is vital to believe survivors’ stories. Tanushree, expressing cynicism over the intention of the tweet, told Zoom, “Well, it’s amazing. She ( Priyanka) has finally decided to join the bandwagon. It’s probably a smart thing to do at this point of time. But I just want people to know that I am not going to be reduced to a survivor. I have a name, I have a story and I have this truth that I am trying to get out because it’s not for me but for people who will come forward in the generations to come.” Published in Daily Times, September 30th 2018.
