TANUSHREE DENIES GETTING LEGAL NOTICE
Despite getting threats of legal notice from Nana Patekar for accusing him of sexual assault, actress Tanushree Dutta revealed that neither has she received any legal notice from the actor’s lawyer nor is she afraid of him.
“I am putting together a team of lawyers and advocates to defend my interests. Also, contrary to claims made by Nana’s lawyer, I have not received any legal notice. So Bluffmaster [movie Patekar starred in] needs to step up his game a bit here,” the former beauty queen said in a statement.
Earlier this week, Dutta came before the media to accuse the Welcome actor of harassing her on the sets of their 2008 film Horn Ok Pleassss.
In an interview, she recounted Nana’s “misbehaviour” on the set.
“[Patekar] called the MNS [Maharashtra Navnirman Sena] party to bash up my car. He was behind everything and was supported by Ganesh Acharya [choreographer],” she said.
Following the allegations, Patekar’s lawyer responded saying he will send a legal notice to her.
Dutta said that no one can stop her from speaking the truth and the “threat of legal notice” can’t intimidate her.
The 34-year-old actress also expressed concern over the lawyers who can do anything for money.
“Current scenario raises how when a victim speaks up there are morally bankrupt and corrupt lawyers and advocates who come forward to defend serial harassers and offenders for their two seconds of fame. Despite witnesses coming forward and all evidence in my support I am being subjected to criminal intimidation and harassment by Nana’s helper,” said Dutta.
