Playback singer who defended Tanushree Dutta
“Nana Patekar passed away yesterday. Celebrated actor. People are mourning, understandably so. I have no issues with that. What's disturbing me is the way people are attacking Tanushree Dutta. Seriously, what do you expect from her? This woman spoke up about her sexual harassment on sets with this gentleman, fought an exhausting battle, faced public humiliation and professional consequences. Now she is expected to forget her experience and perform what for you? Grief?”
