Accused veteran actor Nana Patekar has laughed off Tanushree Dutta’s sexual abuse allegations against him. Even superstars Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan — who are usually vocal about women safety and gender equality — have evaded commenting on the controversy.
However, actors Farhan Akhtar, Priyanka Chopra, Richa Chadha, Swara Bhasker and actor-turned-author Twinkle Khanna have come out in support of the 34-year-old actor who first accused Nana of misbehaving with her 10 years ago in 2008.Read: Sui Dhaaga Movie ReviewRead: Pataakha Movie Review
Taking to Twitter on Thursday, Farhan Akhtar wrote, “This thread is very telling. @janiceseq85 was there at the time of the incident being debated today. Even when #TanushreeDutta had career concerns to keep quiet 10 years ago she did not & her story hasn’t changed now. Her courage should be admired, not her intention questioned.”

It hurts to be #TanushreeDutta rn. To be alone, questioned. No woman wants publicity that opens the floodgates of trolling and insensitivity.What happened to her on set was intimidation.Her only fault was she didn’t back down-takes a special courage to be #TanushreeDutta.?

Please read this thread before judging or shaming #TanushreeDutta a working environment without harassment and intimidation is a fundamental right and by speaking up this brave woman helps pave the way towards that very goal for all of us! https://t.co/f8Nj9YWRvE?
