Want to see a real comedy? Observe how Tanushree Dutta's sexual harassment allegations have unfolded
FirstpostThere’s an excellent black comedy coming out of Bollywood, and it’s called the Tanushree Dutta-Nana Patekar show. For those who’ve shunned the news cycle, social media, life in an Indian metro, and/or human conversation for the past couple of weeks, here’s a quick recap: Back in 2008, during the shoot of a song number for the film Horn OK Pleassss, a seemingly upset Tanushree Dutta retreated to her vanity van, informed the producer she could not continue, called her parents and attempted to leave the sets in her car. Tanushree — who was Miss India-Universe in 2004 before turning to a film career — later told a few journalists who asked her about the incident, that she had been forced to discontinue the song shoot because her co-star Nana Patekar’s behaviour made her uncomfortable. Tanushree has been sent two legal notices — one by Nana Patekar’s lawyer, the other by filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri. As Tanushree deals with the consequences of menstruating on one particular day in 2008 [sarcasm alert — just in case it wasn’t evident>, an AIB comedian has been called out for sending unsolicited dick pics to unknown women, and asking for their nudes.
