Raveena Tandon speaks up on Tanushree Dutta-Nana Patekar controversy
'90s super hit actress Raveena Tandon, on Saturday, voiced her opinion on the latest Tanushree Dutta-Nana Patekar controversy. Although she denied experiencing Nana's wrath first-hand, she extended solidarity with Tanushree saying, "The deafening silence on #TanushreeDutta case is sickening."
The 'Tip Tip Barsa Paani' actress also called out wives and girlfriends of actors for remaining silent about or, even worse, instigating sexual harassment on film-sets.
“What defines harassment in a workplace? The fact that many industry wives/girlfriends are silent observers or instigators, when actor husbands destroy the actresses’ careers after the chase and flirtation is over, have them replaced with other potential targets?” she tweeted.

Though Raveena did not take any names, social media users were quick to link it with Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna. For the uninitiated, Raveena and AKshay were rumoured to be dating but Akshay tied the knot with Twinkle in 2001.

On Tanushree Dutta's sexual harassment allegations on Nana Patekar, she tweeted, “When our industry fails to stand for and protect its own. They get their chance and lose it. Makes our films on women empowerment hollow. The deafening silence on #TanushreeDutta case is sickening. I remember the controversy breaking out.”

Sharing the actual footage of the mob attack on Tanushree Dutta, Raveena wrote, "Seeing this footage for the first time.Shudder to think what she went through.Her face showing such brave calm.There is a goon with a camera in his hand ?Was he a media person?Trace these scumbags even now,register a case,lock them up.What are the cops standing by watching?"

Sharing her experience of working with Nana, Raveena wrote, “Sadly no witnesses or proof. So one couldn’t say. But obviously for her this has been a life changing incident. I’ve worked with Nana too (Mustafa), had heard about his volatile temper, but never witnessed. In fact, he was courteous and helpful.”

Raveena’s last tweet read, “It’s time witnesses came forward and stood by her, unafraid of the consequences, and let the law take its own course. We should not judge and media lynch. Let’s put our faith in the judiciary and let justice unfold. Innocent till proven guilty.”

Raveena, in 2016, had written a blog on how '90s married actors would have affairs with young heroines and then pressurise them to keep it a secret.
— Raveena Tandon (@TandonRaveena) September 29, 2018
"Much before my generation, in the 70’s some heroines were driven to paranoia and ultimately declare schizophrenics and written off. A gorgeous model actress was found dead after being labelled that and another beauty queen/model/actress was beaten up black and blue by a hero husband and his wife! She lost an eye and her career. In 90’s (my generation) the girls fought back but silently. If they spoke, either they were labelled pathological liars or as the macho heroes would show their bravado by threatening in the next glossy headline as how they would smash the girls face or bash her the next time they saw her or she spoke about them – whereas the girls would quietly pick up the pieces of their hearts and careers and try to let their work speak," her blog read.
Reacting to all those who connected her tweets to Twinkle and Akshay, Raveena Tweeted -
