1.Tanushree Dutta isn't celebrating yet
In the light of sexual harassment charges against director of 'Housefull 4' Sajid Khan and actor Nana Patekar, the two have stepped down and are no longer part of the film.
We asked Tanushree if she feels vindicated, she said, “Let’s say I am not celebrating, yet because there is so much more that needs to be done. I am glad that somebody like Akshay (Kumar) finally decided to put his foot down and has chosen to not work with people such as these. I am also happy that Aamir Khan, Kiran Rao and a couple of other production houses are taking a stand, but I would not want this to be a one-time thing"
2.However, a milestone has been achieved
However, the actress feels that whatever happened is a milestone.
“Actors taking a stand by disassociating themselves, the 'Housefull 4' fiasco, production houses like Phantom Films dissolving, MAMI dropping films, and concrete steps being taken are an encouraging thing. Earlier, it was only about me talking, then people supporting me, then more people coming forward with their stories...it is becoming an issue on the national level and structures falling," the actress said
3.Assurance that words will have an effect
Tanushree Dutta also said that people need to be assured that they would be heard and their words would have an effect.
"I want to push the movement. I know there are many people with horrifying stories that are untold and need to come to light," she further added
4.Not a mere revenge campaign, much deeper than that
“Not only Nana, but I also want CINTAA to take action against the other three accused- choreographer Ganesh Acharya, director Rakesh Sarang and producer Samee Siddiqui. I want them to be taken to task, too. It would be a big statement that a film body would make," the actress said.
"These guys bullied me and pressured me... (so) just one guy dropping from the film does not make me feel vindicated. This is not a revenge campaign. It goes much deeper than that. I lost 10 years of my life," she added
5.Happy that others are encouraged
However, the actress is grateful for all the support she has been getting.
“I appreciate any and all support I got, especially if it is encouraging other people to come forward. Vinta Nanda said she was encouraged by me," she added
