ControversyWhile she was rehearsing her item number for the film ‘Horn Ok Please’ (2008), starring the veteran actor Nana Patekar, she had a weird experience. She alleged that her co-star Nana Patekar had misbehaved with her, and she got defensive when she was pushed against the wall by Nana Patekar. This caused a huge ruckus. Later, according to her statement in an interview, just after this incident happened, her car was crushed out of frustration and it was also alleged that there was an involvement of some political parties. After 10 years of that incident, she re-erupted that incident and filed an FIR against “Nana Patekar” on 6 October 2018. She also accused the director Vivek Agnihotri for harassing her during the filming of the movie ‘Chocolate: Deep Dark Secrets’ (2005).

Career

In 2003, Dutta won the Femina Miss India pageant held in Mumbai. As a result, she represented India at the Miss Universe 2004 Pageant which took place in Quito, Ecuador, where she was placed as the sixth runner-up.

She made her debut in Tamil cinema in Theeratha Vilayattu Pillai and her Bollywood début in 2005, appearing in Chocolate and Aashiq Banaya Aapne. In 2006 she also appeared in the song “Jab Kabhi” in 36 China Town.

Me Too Movement

On 26 September 2018, Dutta gave an interview to Zoom TV in which she accused Nana Patekar of sexually harassing her on the sets of the 2009 film Horn ‘Ok’ Pleassss. This was a catalyst for the “Me Too” movement in India. Dutta had first made the allegations against Patekar in 2008, filing a complaint with the Cine & TV Artists Association (CINTAA) but no action was taken as the case was considered a criminal case. The allegation was repeated in 2013 in an interview, and again largely ignored. It was not until her September 2018 statements that the CINTAA apologized to Dutta, admitting that the “chief grievance of sexual harassment wasn’t even addressed” but added that since the case was more than three years old, they could not reopen it.

Janice Sequeira, a journalist, backed her allegations, claiming to be an eyewitness of the incident. She also alleged that filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri had told her to remove her clothes and dance with Irrfan Khan to act on the sets of Chocolate (2005). She said Khan and Sunil Shetty stood up for her during this episode. Agnihotri refuted all allegations and shared that it is an attempt to get publicity by Dutta and to malign his image in a legal notice sent to her. The assistant director of Chocolate, Sattyajit Gazmer, also dismissed Dutta’s claims.

In another interview, Dutta said, “He called the MNS party to bash up my car. He was behind everything and was supported by choreographer Ganesh Acharya.” In a video from 2008 that went viral on the internet, it was seen the journalists and not the MNS were seen thrashing Dutta’s car. A journalist named Pawan Bharadwaj was seen thrashing the car’s windshield with his camera, who later clarified that he attacked her car because he had a fight with Dutta’s team prior to the incident.

Mahrashtra Navnirman Sena filed a defamation case against Dutta. She was also served with two legal notices from Patekar and Agnihotri. Subsequently, on 6 October, Dutta filed an FIR at Oshiwara police station against Patekar; director of Horn ‘Ok’ Pleassss, Rakesh Sarang; choreographer Acharya and producer Sami Siddiqui.

On 13 October 2018, Dutta’s advocate Nitin Satpute submitted an application at the Oshiwara police station in Mumbai saying that actor Nana Patekar, choreographer Ganesh Acharya, producer Samee Siddiqui and director Rakesh Sarang be made to undergo narco-analysis, brain mapping and lie detector tests.

In June 2019, Patekar was cleared of the sexual harassment charges by the police. The B-Summary report filed by the Oshiwara police station in Mumbai said that the complaint filed by Tanushree could be “malicious” and “out of revenge”.
