Ganesh Acharya denies harassment allegations made by Tanushree Dutta, says Nana Patekar is 'a very sweet person'
FirstpostFollowing the report of Tanushree Dutta questioning the impact of #Metoo movement in Bollywood, alleging that Nana Patekar had sexually harassed her on the sets of Horn ‘Ok’ Pleassss, Ganesh Acharya stated that Nana Patekar was a “very sweet person” who could “never do that”. Claiming that Patekar had helped a number of artistes in the industry, Acharya, who was the choreographer for the special number that Tanushree was supposed to do, told News18, “First of all, it’s a very old incident so I can’t really recall everything very clearly. It never happened.” Tanushree had alleged that Ganesh Acharya’s name was recommended by the actress, and that she felt a“stabbed in the back” when he continued to work with Patekar. He further said that the song did not have any indecent steps and that the song always was supposed to have Nana Patekar, as per his knowledge, as opposed to Tanushree’s claim that the track was supposed to be a “solo number.” The actress claimed that Patekar wanted to do an intimate scene with her in the song and when she refused to do it the veteran actor allegedly called members of a political party on the set to intimidate her.
