Actress Tanushree Dutta has alleged that she is being targeted and harassed by the “Bollywood mafia and Maharashtra’s old political circle” for standing up against injustice. In 2018, Dutta started India’s #MeToo movement by reviving a decade-old case of alleged harassment by actor Nana Patekar.” Bollywood mafia, Maharashtra’s old political circle (which is still influential here) and nefarious anti-national criminal elements usually work together like this to disturb people (sic),” the former Miss India wrote in a lengthy Instagram post on Tuesday. .
From sabotaging her films to attempts on her life, the 38-year-old claimed she was systematically targeted.”The #metoo culprits and the NGOs I exposed” were responsible for her problems, she said, without naming names.“I’m sure the #metoo culprits and the NGOs I exposed are behind all of this, because why else would I be targeted and harassed like this?”Shame on you all… This is serious mental, physical and mental harassment. What kind of place is this where young boys and girls can just be harassed and killed for standing up against injustice? (sic)” she added .Dutta, known for films like “AashiqBanayaAapne” and “Chocolate”, said those who tried to pull her down would not succeed.
“I’m definitely not going to commit suicide yehkaank holkar sun lo sab log!! I’m not even leaving and I’m not going anywhere. I’m here to stay and resurrect my public career to greater heights than ever before!”The actor also said that people will now try to “dismiss” her claims, but she has been posting updates about her life for a long time. Dutta said she will now focus on her welfare, new business and job opportunities.
