Tanushree
Dutta
who
has
been
in
the
news
for
her
ugly
spat
with
director
Shona
Urvashi
during
the
shooting
of
Saas
Bahu
Sensex
in
Pune,
is
in
no
mood
to
forgive
or
forget.
"I've
taken
enough
rubbish
from
them;
all
because
of
my
producers,
Warner
Brothers
are
really
cool.
But
Shona
Urvashi
has
been
a
nightmare.
I
wouldn't
even
want
to
go
there
again.
But
she
has
been
calling
up
the
media
telling
them
I'm
on
drugs
and
that
I'm
another
Parveen
Babi…Another
Parveen?
Me
on
drugs?
This
is
my
13th
film.
Please
check
with
my
other
directors-producers,
if
I
have
ever
been
erratic
in
my
behaviour.
I
think
these
people
need
to
check
their
own
mental
balance."
Getting
even
more
candid
Tanushree
goes
back
to
the
beginning
of
her
stint
in
Pune.
"I
signed
on
this
film
without
knowing
what
I
was
in
for.
At
first
things
seemed
okay.
Shona
was
the
director,
her
sister
Masume
is
also
in
the
cast
(though
it's
another
matter
that
there
seems
to
be
some
kind
of
a
stress
between
the
sisters).
I've
the
main
role.
Their
mother
is
the
producer
and
father
looks
after
production.
So
it
was
all
a
family
affair.
I
was
the
outsider.
I
kept
my
distance.
Maybe
they
didn't
like
the
fact
that
I
didn't
party
with
them
after
work.
But
if
I've
an
early
morning
shoot
I'd
rather
sleep
and
be
fresh."
Whatever
the
reason
for
their
rancor,
all
hell
broke
loose
on
February
14.
"Shona
decided
to
harass
me
pointedly
and
continuously
on
that
day.
She'd
pick
on
me
for
no
reason.
At
first,
I
laughed
it
off,
thinking
they
were
making
a
bakra
out
of
me.
But
then
I
realized
they
were
serious.
I
was
made
to
say
the
same
line
for
hours
on-end.
I
wasn't
allowed
to
go
back
to
my
van
between
shots.
For
fifteen
hours
non-stop
they
made
me
shoot,
taunting,
jeering,
and
openly
harassing
me.
The
lights
and
AC
were
switched
off
in
my
van.
It
was
like
a
nightmare.
And
at
the
end
of
it
there
was
promise
of
more.
They
couldn't
wait
to
have
me
back
on
the
sets
the
next
morning
for
a
dose
of
the
same
treatment."
Tanushree
left
Pune
and
refused
to
go
back
until
the
producers
accompanied
her.
"I
reluctantly
went
back
and
shot
on
19th
and
20th.
But
it
was
bad.
The
producers
saw
how
bad
it
was
and
blasted
the
team,
wondering
how
an
actor
was
supposed
to
work
under
such
stressful
circumstances.
Then
Shona
insisted
she
needed
me
for
10-12
days.
The
producers
decided
4
days
were
enough.
I
went
on
the
sets
at
the
given
time
tried
to
do
my
work
and
left."
Now,
there're
just
four
days
of
work
left,
and
Tanushree
wonders
how
she'd
be
able
to
go
through
it.
"It's
a
fantastic
script.
But
the
worst
experience
of
my
career.
Now
I
wonder
if
they
were
doing
all
this
just
for
publicity.
Shona
Urvashi
has
directed
one
film
before.
Maybe
she
needed
to
get
noticed.
But
is
this
the
way
to
go
about
it?"
