I Want To Look Into The Camera And Answer Every Question: Nana Patekar On Sexual Harassment Allegations

Says I will speak in detail once I am back and I hope people don't jump to conclusions before that.
Mumbai (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 29th September, 2018) Actor Nana Patekar, who has been accused of sexual harassment by actress Tanushree Dutta, has said that he will address all the questions regarding the matter in a press conference.
According to Times of India, the actor has claimed that he will answer all the questions regarding the sexual harassment claims in a press conference soon.
“I am shooting in Jaisalmer and as soon as I am back in Mumbai on the 7th or 8th of October, I will hold a press in Mumbai, where you can ask me anything you want," he said.
"I want to look into the camera and answer every question. You can ask me whatever you want to know about this. I have no reason to hide," he further said.
"It's all about what do you want to believe. Do you really think ke me itka ghanerda manoos aahe? (Do you think I am so disgusting?) Do people not know me at all? I don't need others to validate my good conduct. I can barely dance and it's not even something I like doing. Why would I ask someone to introduce some lewd step? There are 500 people on set!" the actor spoke up.
Furthermore the veteran actor hoped for people to not hastily start making assumptions, saying, "These are some serious allegations.
In a situation like this, I can either deny them and say that's it a lie or take her to court for maligning me. What else can I do? But I will speak in detail once I am back and I hope people don't jump to conclusions before that. That is not right."
Bollywood actress Tanushree Dutta who was last seen in the 2010 film Apartment, opened up about being harassed on the sets of a film ten years ago.
Tanushree accused Nana Patekar of wanting to touch her inappropriately and having insisted on shooting an intimate song sequence in the film, even though it was not mentioned in her contract.
During her interview with Zoom tv, Tanushree said that Nana’s reputation of sexual misconduct is well known in the Hindi film industry, but little has been done about it.
“Everyone knows about Nana that he has always been disrespectful towards women. People in the industry know about his background... that he has beaten actresses, he has molested them, his behaviour with women has always been crude but no publication has printed anything about it,” she said.
