Tanushree Dutta reveals that she was sexually abused while shooting for ‘Horn OK Please’

Tanushree Dutta, who made a successful debut with ‘Aashiq Banaya Aapne’, has opened up about her struggle and trauma she faced after being sexually abused by an actor. She accused the industry of being hypocritical, and said that the actor still works in Bollywood.

In an interview with News18, Tanushree said, “The thing is that our country has become so hypocritical, and people constantly ask why #MeToo movement is not happening in India, it won’t happen unless and until you’ll acknowledge what happened with me in 2008. The #MeToo happened in Hollywood a year or two back, but in India it happened several years ago. I was probably one of the first people in the history of this country in the media field to speak up and stand up. Everybody saw what happened but the memory and the popular perception of it is that Tanushree Dutta spoke up against harassment and then she was no more.”

The said incident happened on the sets of ‘Horn OK Please’, where despite being offered a solo song, she was asked to do an intimate scene with an actor.

We are really proud of Tanushree for speaking up on the incident, and wish that she could name and shame the actor too. Also, we hope that more Bollywood actresses speak up against such incidences so that they don’t happen in the future.
