'He wanted to use me', the actress has been unemployed for 11 years, #MeToo accused director had given her an offer

Tanushree Dutta was the face of the Me Too movement in the Hindi film industry. She started a revolution in the industry by raising her voice against sexual harassment. The actress had made serious allegations of sexual harassment against Nana Patekar, due to which there was a lot of uproar in Bollywood. Recently, during a special conversation,Tanushree Dutta told how a Me Too accused director wanted to change his image through her.

'Aashiq Banaya' actress Tanushree Dutta said in her interview that she had to pay a heavy price for raising her voice against injustice. She says, 'It is important that every actor should be ready to bear some consequences for something right. In December 2018, a big producer offered me a film, but its director was a Me Too accused, so I immediately rejected the film.'

The director wanted to change his image.

The actress further says, 'Who is losing in all this? Me. I have not done any work for a long time. Last year also, a director from Kolkata offered me a film, but I refused it for the same reason. I felt that the director wanted to improve his image by using me.'

Tanushree Dutta said, 'Why did he come to me? He thought that it had been a long time since Me Too. Now if he casts me in his film, people will think that I am on his side. I refused the film. I also took advice from my dad so that I could understand things better.' The actress says that she raised her voice when she needed work the most and she hopes that other people can also support the right.

Talking about the work front, Tanushree Dutta was last seen in the 2013 film 'Tumne Li Hai Shapath'. The actress has been away from the screen since this film.
