Bollywood actress Tanushree Dutta has accused fellow actor Nana Patekar of being a habitual liar, reigniting the controversy over her 2008 harassment allegations.

In a recent statement, Dutta criticised Patekar’s denial of the harassment claims, describing him as fearful and dishonest.

« Everyone knows how big of a liar Nana Patekar is. In 2008, he slapped a boy on set and later dismissed it as part of a scene after public backlash.

« He apologized half-heartedly only after massive criticism, » Dutta remarked.

Dutta’s allegations date back to 2008 when she accused Patekar of sexually harassing her during a film shoot.

She now claims that Patekar is aware of her plans to file another FIR against him for conspiracy to murder, criminal intimidation, and physical harm.

« Patekar is scared because he knows I’m considering further legal action against him, » Dutta said.

She added that Patekar’s support within Bollywood has dwindled, with many distancing themselves from the veteran actor.

Dutta’s recent comments come after Patekar denied the harassment allegations in a recent interview.

The ongoing dispute continues to highlight issues of harassment and accountability in the film industry.
