In that Navratri celebration event, Tanushree Dutta was seen looking happy, something that did not go down well with trollers and raised questions.
Tanushree Dutta has issued a statement saying, “For all those people offended with and questioning my recent outing for Navratri event, I have some words of common sense to share. Why do you expect me or anyone who has spoken out about injustice to just stay at home and sulk? I’ve never done that and never will. I have been attending events for the last 10 years regularly and looking great and happy is my birthright as a human being. I’m a 21st-century girl and I don’t conform to how your primitive mindset would expect me to behave.”
She also questioned why women who complain of abuse are held to an expected code of behaviour but not the men who allegedly abused them?
“This raises an important topic of why girls and women when they have the courage to speak out about harassment, abuse or assault, are then further stigmatized by society by imposing on them rules and codes of conduct post-complaint. For the last 10 years I have seen the four harassers of Horn OK Pleassss incident go out and about their life, do movies, attend events, win awards and laugh and smile and get accolades etc. Why not raise a question then? Now is my time,” she stated.
Actress said in a statement, “I will continue to raise awareness with my activism, I will continue to work, I will go out and have a great time with friends and family, I will get retribution, I will bring hope to many that have lost hope in this darkness, I will show a way to healing and wholeness to those that are broken. I will shine my light bright for all to see as I was not created to lurk in the shadows. And all this I will do while looking stunning, fantabulous and awesome.”
Tanushree Dutta has accused renowned actor Nana Patekar, choreographer Ganesh Acharya, director Rakesh Sarang and producer Samee Siddiqui of harassment.
