Nana Patekar Controversy :

Tanushree Dutta Give Interview On 26th September, 2018, on Zoom TV in which she accused Nana Patekar of sexually harassing her on the sets of the 2009 film Horn ‘Ok’ Pleassss. This declaration was seen as the catalyst for the “Me Too” movement in India, similar to the one that happened in the U.S. a year earlier with Harvey Weinstein, in which more and more women in the movie industry would publicly announce high-profile individuals who had sexually exploited them.

Tanushree Dutta had first made the allegations against Nana in 2008, filing a complaint with the Cine & TV Artists Association (CINTAA) but no action was taken as the case was considered a criminal case. The allegation was repeated in 2013 in an interview, and again largely ignored. It was not until her September 2018 statements that the CINTAA apologized to Dutta, admitting that the “chief grievance of sexual harassment wasn’t even addressed in 2008” but added that since the case was more than three years old, they could not reopen it.

Janice Sequeira, a journalist, backed her allegations, claiming to be an eyewitness of the incident. She also alleged that filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri had told her to remove her clothes and dance with Irrfan Khan to act on the sets of Chocolate (2005). She said Khan and Sunil Shetty stood up for her during this episode. Agnihotri refuted all allegations and shared that it is an attempt to get publicity by Tanushree and to malign his image in a legal notice sent to her. The assistant director of Chocolate, Sattyajit Gazmer, also dismissed Tanushree’s claims.

In another interview, Tanushree said, “Nana called the MNS party to bash up my car. He was behind everything and was supported by choreographer Ganesh Acharya.” In a video from 2008 that went viral on the internet, it was seen the journalists and not the MNS were seen thrashing Tanushree’s car. A journalist named Pawan Bharadwaj was seen thrashing the car’s windshield with his camera, who later clarified that he attacked her car because he had a fight with Dutta’s team prior to the incident.

Mahrashtra Navnirman Sena filed a defamation case against Tanushree. She was also served with two legal notices from Patekar and Agnihotri. After on, on 6 October, Tanushree filed an FIR at Oshiwara police station against Nana ; director of Horn ‘Ok’ Pleassss, Rakesh Sarang; choreographer Acharya and producer Sami Siddiqui.

On 13 October 2018, Ms.Tanushree’s advocate Nitin Satpute submitted an application at the Oshiwara police station in Mumbai saying that actor Nana Patekar, choreographer Ganesh Acharya, producer Samee Siddiqui and director Rakesh Sarang be made to undergo narco-analysis, brain mapping and lie detector tests.

In June 2019, Nana Patekar was cleared of the sexual harassment charges by the police. The B-Summary report filed by the Oshiwara police station in Mumbai said that the complaint filed by Tanushree could be “malicious” and “out of revenge”
