\"Tanushree Tanushree Dutta<\/a> has once again revisited her unpleasant experiences with director Vivek Agnihotri<\/a> in her 2005 released film Chocolate and actor Nana Patekar<\/a> while shooting an item song in his 2009 film Horn Ok Pleassss during her recent interview.Recalling the controversy from the sets of Chocolate, Tanushree said she had once seen a video interview where it was mentioned that she had refused to perform a particular scene. Clarifying her stand, she told Pinkvilla, \u201cI never objected to the scene. The costume had some exposure, and I had to dance underwater. My issue was with the way the director spoke to me. The manner in which he told me what to do was extremely inappropriate. I told him this is not how you speak to a Miss India or to any professional. That is why I raised my voice.\u201dShe added that she never named the director at the time, yet \u201che is still giving interviews and saying whatever he wants.\u201dTanushree explained that she was new to films then and came from a Miss India background, where she had always spoken respectfully even to people junior to her.\u201cOn my first film set, I couldn\u2019t understand why a director\u2014who wasn\u2019t even that big back then\u2014was talking so disrespectfully and saying things like \u2018kapde utaar ke naach (remove your clothes and dance).\u2019 The same thing could have been said politely. I was stunned, and even other people on set were offended. There were big names in that film, like Suniel Shetty. Everyone was shocked.\u201dAccording to her, she only ever clashed with people whose behaviour towards women was problematic.\u201cThese men don\u2019t know how to behave with women. I have never had an issue with anyone who has a good reputation. I like people who are professional, cut-to-cut, apne kaam se kaam. Ladki dekhi nahi ke phael gaye, ladki dekhi nahi ke ego shuru ho gaya, ladki dekhi nahi ke apne aap ko jyada hero dikhane ki koshish kar rahe ho, usko khich taan rahe ho. And not everybody likes physical proximity. I’m not saying I’m a saint. I will have physical proximity with someone I choose. You are an actor, you are acting with me, and we didn’t even have any scene like that. Jiska dimaag kharab hota hai, uska dimaag waise hi kharab nikalta hai.\u201dSpeaking about Nana Patekar, she referred to an old interview she had seen of Dimple Kapadia, where the latter called him an obnoxious person. \u201cEven Dimple Kapadia had spoken about him. Bollywood is a place where people become popular for no reason. In 2008, he didn\u2019t even have films, while I was at my peak. My songs were hits, I was constantly in the news.\u201dTanushree claimed she was repeatedly requested to do the film in question, \u201cThe film wasn\u2019t selling for two years. They literally folded their hands and asked me to do an item song so that the film could sell. I had that kind of pull back then\u2014if I did an item number or a guest appearance, the movie would sell.\u201dShe alleged that after agreeing to help, she was instead mistreated, \u201cThe same people who begged me to come dragged me into a mess. They pulled me into a ditch after I helped them. Then they accused me of doing a publicity stunt. I was already very popular. I used to be in the news every day. Why would I need publicity from an out-of-work, ageing actor?\u201dShe said the manipulation began on set, \u201cThey troubled me deliberately for attention, using reverse psychology. They wanted to break me down so they could look powerful. Itne chaalaak aur shaateer dimaag hote hain buddhe buddhe saare, Bollywood ke, kyunki yeh toh 20-20 saal se game khel raha hai (These older men are extremely cunning\u2014they\u2019ve been playing this game for 20 years). I was innocent then; I had no idea people could be this manipulative.\u201dShe continued, “Tum socho, tumhare jaise buddhe, out-of-work, kuroop insaan ke saath mujhe ladne ki zarurat hai, public ke liye, jo itni popular hoon hoon. Miss India, Miss Universe, Miss India Universe… Aashiq Banaya Aapne tab bhi release hui thi meri. Mujhe aur publicity ki zarurat hai?”\u201c2008 ka jo zamana tha, directors usse kaam karne se darte the. Toh aapki woh haalat thi. Aur main aapke saath thodi si theek karoongi? Kyunki Shah Rukh Khan nahi hai kya? Amitabh Bachchan nahi hai? Yeh bade-bade actors hain jinki clean image hai. Unke saath karungi na main controversy? Aur bhi toh kitne bade-bade actors hain jo kaam kar rahe hain,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

She further added, “As for Nana Patekar\u2014he wasn\u2019t even getting work properly in 2008. His film was shelved for two years. The producers had to beg me\u2014literally with tears in their eyes\u2014saying, \u2018If this film doesn\u2019t release, we will be ruined. Please do an item song so the film can sell.\u2019 I came into the film out of that request. But the moment I started shooting, everything changed. They flipped the script on me.\u201dShe described feeling trapped, \u201cOnce I started working on the film, the whole tone changed. I felt like a chicken trapped in a net. When I tried to walk away, they even brought goons and damaged my car. I didn\u2019t deserve any of that.\u201dTanushree said she was not internet-savvy at the time and didn\u2019t know how to check anyone\u2019s reputation or past controversies.\u201cI was new, and I didn\u2019t know people could operate at this level of manipulation. I was forced into that situation and did the best I could. They created controversies in my name on purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tanushree Dutta has once again revisited her unpleasant experiences with director Vivek Agnihotri in her 2005 released film…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":153273,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[93,61,60,270,56570,86469,86475,86473,86476,86470,86471,86474,86472,9586],"class_list":["post-153272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-movies","tag-nana-patekar","tag-tanushree-dutta","tag-tanushree-dutta-controversies","tag-tanushree-dutta-harrassment-on-set","tag-tanushree-dutta-interviews","tag-tanushree-dutta-metoo","tag-tanushree-dutta-nana-patekar","tag-tanushree-dutta-sexual-harassment","tag-tanushree-dutta-vivek-agnihotri","tag-vivek-agnihotri"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=153272"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153272\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/153273"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=153272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=153272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=153272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
