Dutta
had
accused
Nana
Patekar

sexually
harassing
her

the
criticisms

for
being
a
mute
spectator
when

was
harassed.
Nana

has
not
spoken
out
about

him
yet,
but

defended
Nana
by
saying

he's
a
good
man

never
do
anything
like
that.
He
also
stated
that
the
whole
controversy
is
just
some
sort
of
a
misunderstanding
and
doesn't
remember
every
minute
detail,
as
it
was
a
decade
ago.

What
happened
with

on
the
sets
of
"Horn
Ok
Please"
is
one
such
incident
-
I
was
there.
#NanaPatekar."
Here's
What

Said...
"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,"
tweeted
Farhan
Akhtar
in
support
of
Tanushree
Dutta.

Richa
Chadha
Supports
Tanushree
Dutta's
Claims,
Says
It
Hurts!
"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."
