An incident that took place nearly a decade ago resurfaced abruptly with an interview Tanushree Dutta had no idea would go viral as it did. Talking about the #MeToo movement, the actress was quoted saying that there can't be a #MeToo movement in Bollywood unless something that happened to her back in 2008 is acknowledged.

In a fresh statement issued on Monday night, the actress said , 'I have not received any notice. These threats are put so that others like me would be scared to come forward. Anyone with a similar experience who comes forward should not worry about these kinds of intimidation tactics. The whole nation will support them.' 

The actress appreciating the coverage she has got from the media went on to say, 'There are big media houses standing in solidarity with this movement. An excellent time to take these remorseless men to task and send a strong message in the society. Harassment cases are taken lightly in our society but when given a free pass for too long becomes endemic and leads to extreme cases like mine that end in mob violence.'

Rajendra Shirodkar - Nana's legal advocate, exclusively spoke to Republic TV where he denied allegations on his client stating something else happened on that day. However, Tanushree in a fresh statement after that, refuted receiving any such notice from Nana Patekar.
