Tanushree blasts CINTAA for not taking action against Nana: They have failed me again
India TodayLast month, Tanushree Dutta sent shockwaves across the nation when she accused Nana Patekar of sexually harassing her on the sets of 2008 film Horn Ok Pleassss. "After reports that Nana has been asked to step down from Housefull 4 because Fox star India and the lead star Akshay Kumar wants to disassociate themselves from those accused of sexual harassment, a new report suggests that his scenes will not be cut from the film and will be retained in the final cut. Here is the full statement: "I'm thoroughly disappointed by the stand that Cintaa has taken on the issue.After issuing a very public apology for not dealing with the sexual harassment complaint 10 years ago when they had a handwritten complaint from me.This time around I was called to meet CINTAA in the presence of their lawyer and assured that they will take strict action possibly expulsion of Nana as well as take to task choreographer Ganesh Acharya, producer Sami siddique and dir Rakesh sarang of Horn ok please incident.I asked them if they can provide me with legal aid since they have their own lawyer and I was being threatened by a legal notice of defamation from Nana. "CINTAA refused saying it is not their policy to provide legal aid in such cases, however they said the only thing they can do to help is to revive my old complaint from the year 2008 and take action on it.They asked me to send a letter through my representative to revive my old complaint so they could take immediate action.When I sent the letter they suddenly had a problem with the fact that it was not me but my representative who sent the letter and asked for a cover letter authorising my representative to represent me at Cintaa.I sent the cover letter along with the letter with my signature to revive the old complaint.Still no action.It seems their support of Me too is only limited to media interaction and big words.Actions speak louder than words!! "Second disappointment: After reports that Nana has been asked to step down from Housefull 4 because Fox star India and the lead star Akshay Kumar wants to disassociate themselves from those accused of sexual harassment a new report suggests that his scenes will not be cut from the film and will be retained in the final cut.What kind of disassociation is this??
