Tanushree Dutta says her crying video was due to ‘fear she faced over last 5 years': Dangerous things happened around me
Actor Tanushree Dutta, the OG MeToo whistleblower, has opened up about the emotional video she recently shared on her social media. In the now-viral clip that she shared on Tuesday, the actor can be seen sobbing and talking about being allegedly "harassed" inside her home. Tanushree Dutta gained fame with Aashiq Banaya Aapne in 2005. "I am being harassed in my own house. I just called the cops, and they have asked me to come to the police station to lodge a proper complaint. I will probably go tomorrow or the day after. I am not well. I have been harassed so much in the past five years that I have fallen sick," she said in the video. Tanushree has alleged that the video was a result "pain, stress, and fear she faced over the last five years". Speaking to ANI, Tanushree said her video was not a stunt or drama, but a real "emotional response after enduring repeated traumatic events since MeToo allegations in 2018". "First of all, I want to say that it was my emotional response," she said. "A lot of strange things have happened to me in the last five years. After MeToo, serious and dangerous things started happening around me. It took me time to understand that all of this was actually happening to me," she said. "I was in an accident; my brakes failed. There were also attempts to mix something in my food to make me sick. Strange things started happening outside my house, too," Tanushree added. When asked if anyone from the film industry reached out to help, she said, "I don't have any friends. And when all of this started happening to me, the few contacts I had also disappeared." About people calling her a drama queen after her video, Tanushree said, "People always say such things. They said I was acting in 2008, they said the same in 2018. And who are these people anyway?" She also responded to the accusations that her viral video was a publicity stunt saying, "There are many ways to go viral. I don't need to do all this. I am Tanushree Dutta. Miss India Universe," she said. Tanushree first gained fame when she won the Femina Miss India Universe title in 2004. She later acted in popular films such as Aashiq Banaya Apne, Dhol, and Bhagam Bhag.

Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Actress NOT Approached For Reboot, Says 'I Have Heard...'
Published By : Chirag Sehgal IANS Last Updated: Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 will mark the return of Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay as the iconic Tulsi and Mihir Virani. Veteran actress Kiran Dubey has expressed her faith in Ekta Kapoor's creative instincts, stating that the television czarina must have a solid story in mind if she's bringing back ' Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi" in today's competitive landscape. Speaking to IANS, the actress believes that a show as iconic as Kyunki wouldn't be relaunched without a compelling narrative to match the legacy. When asked if she was approached for the reboot show, Kiran revealed she hasn't received any offer yet but is excited about Smriti Irani's return. She shared, 'I was a part of Kyunki Saas Bhi… for about two and a half years and it was a wonderful experience. I've heard the show is coming back, but I haven't received any calls yet. If they approach me with an interesting track, I'll definitely consider it. As for Smriti ji, I don't know the reason for her return given her political career, but I'm sure she has her reasons. As you said, the audience has changed. Even Ramayan would face competition today. But Kyunki Saas Bhi… has a strong identity and loyal viewership. I'm sure Ekta Kapoor has a great story in mind if she's relaunching it." Kiran Dubey also spoke about her absence from television after her roles in the iconic shows like 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi" and 'Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii." She revealed that she wanted to take some time to explore herself and to understand herself better. 'Yes, I've done many shows, including some of the top ones. But I've always felt that my life should be a priority. I wanted to take some time to explore myself—my life and my spirituality—and to understand myself better. After working nonstop for nearly a decade, I felt it was necessary to step back for a while." Speaking of 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2", the show is set to premiere on July 29 on Star Plus.
