Tanushree Dutta On Sushant Singh Rajput: ‘A Good Man Caught With Very Bad Men'
Tanushree Dutta says Sushant Singh Rajput was 'a good man caught with very bad men' and urges fans to pray for him, Jiah Khan, and Disha Salian. Actress Tanushree Dutta, who recently raised concerns about threats to her life in Mumbai, has once again taken to social media to share a deeply emotional and spiritual post. This time, she reflected on the late Sushant Singh Rajput, along with Disha Salian and Jiah Khan, describing them as 'slain soldiers of God" who were victims of a darker reality hidden beneath public narratives. In a heartfelt Instagram story, the Dhol actress urged her followers to offer prayers for these departed souls, questioning the popular portrayal of their deaths as mere cases of 'depression" or 'personal conflict." 'We should all keep these slain soldiers of God SSR, Disha, Jiah and others in our prayers. This is how you help, by praying over the people of God. We don't know how much they battled and what evil they battled. It's easy to just cook up stories of depression and personal conflict," she wrote. Tanushree emphasized that she believes sinister forces were at play, 'No, there are evil people in the world that literally feed off of the suffering of others for their own selfish gains. And these children of God just became victims of another's greed, lust for power and ambition." Speaking specifically about Sushant Singh Rajput, Tanushree painted a moving image of his spiritual journey. She shared how she envisions his soul making its way toward peace and the light, 'I prayed for SSR… Every time I think of him, I see him walking through a long straight tunnel towards the light. He either saw the light or someone came to guide him to the light. He took a while but is close now." She further criticized the cloud of misinformation and deceit surrounding their deaths, 'Their truth is silenced by layers upon layers of lies, misinformation and deceit. I see it happening now, so watch closely how they try to paint a picture so flawed. But the good thing is, they've got no new tricks up their sleeve. They are predictable due to their low consciousness, and they would lose." Tanushree concluded her message with unwavering faith, stating, 'God has already accounted for everything, so nothing can hurt me beyond a point or destroy me completely." Sushant Singh Rajput's Legacy Sushant Singh Rajput tragically passed away by suicide on June 14, 2020, at the age of 34. His sudden death sparked massive public outcry, conspiracy theories, and ongoing debates about mental health, nepotism, and justice in the entertainment industry. The names of Disha Salian (his former manager) and Jiah Khan (who died in 2013) have often been brought up in conversations about mysterious deaths in Bollywood.

Tanushree Dutta To NDTV: "I Was Supposed To Do A Film With Sushant Singh Rajput"
New Delhi: Actor Tanushree Dutta, who became the face of India's #MeToo movement back in 2018, on Friday said the recent disturbing video of her breaking down into tears was the result of "an emotional outburst" stemming from a long and painful experience of being harassed in Mumbai, a city where she is unsafe. The actor told NDTV how she finds parallels in life with Sushant Singh Rajput. She also said that she was supposed to feature in a film with the late star who was found dead at his Mumbai apartment in 2020. "I have been harassed for the past five years, and that video was simply an emotional outburst stemming from that long, painful experience. My building's security was replaced without my consent, the locks of my house were broken into, and a maid was deliberately planted in my home - she was mixing unknown substances into my food. All of this began after the #MeToo movement," Tanushree Dutta told NDTV in the interview. "I was supposed to do a film with Sushant Singh Rajput, and it gave me hope that an A-lister was willing to work with me. But even he died by suicide - and I believe there is a deeper connection between his death and the kind of harassment I've been facing. His case and mine are not entirely disconnected," she added. The former Miss India Universe also alleged that on a recent spiritual trip to Ujjain, someone tampered with the brakes of her autorickshaw "with an attempt to kill me". "I strongly believe there is a deliberate effort to mentally torture me to the point that I either end up like Sushant Singh Rajput - forced into suicide - or go insane like Pooja Mishra," she claimed. Tanushree Dutta also levelled fresh allegations against actor Nana Patekar, whom she accused of sexual harassment and abuse in 2018 under the #MeToo wave in India. "I had raised questions regarding Nana Patekar's foundation, and ever since then, people have been after me. A contract worth Rs 5 crore was given to the underworld to eliminate me. The underworld still exists - earlier it was figures like Dawood Ibrahim, but now it operates in new, subtler forms. I am constantly being followed." "But since no one is chasing me with a knife right now, I'm not in a rush. I want to document every incident from the past five years thoroughly so that I can present it to the police in a proper and structured manner. The police hasn't done anything so far - in fact, I place more trust in the media than in law enforcement," she further said. Earlier in the day, Tanushree Dutta said she is overwhelmed with media requests as she continues to speak out about the harassment she is facing. "I'm swamped with interviews and haven't been keeping well either. I've lived a slow, low-key sadhana lifestyle last few years. I'm trying the best I can. Please bear with me. I'll talk to everyone slowly, slowly," she wrote on her Instagram Story. In her previous interview to NDTV, the actor talked about her past experience with the police during the #MeToo movement in 2018. "My experience with the Mumbai Police during the 2018 #MeToo movement left a very bitter taste in my mouth," she said. "They encouraged me to file an FIR back then. I spent four to five hours at the station, gave a detailed statement, and kept following up and nothing came of it. In Maharashtra, these molesters and harassers are often hobnobbing with politicians. They're protected. So, there's no real scope of justice," she added. Tanushree Dutta had accused actor Nana Patekar of sexually harassing her during the shoot of a special song in the film Horn Ok Pleassss in 2009. She made these allegations in a Zoom interview in 2018. Nana Patekar, however, denied all the claims.

Tanushree Dutta reveals she was supposed to do a film with Sushant Singh Rajput: 'But even he died by suicide...'
Tanushree Dutta, a prominent voice in India's #MeToo movement, has revealed ongoing harassment over the past five years, including emotional breakdowns and safety concerns. She draws parallels between her experiences and Sushant Singh Rajput's death, alleging underworld threats and targeted surveillance. Dutta plans to file a detailed report with the police, expressing disappointment with law enforcement's response. Tanushree Dutta , one of the first voices in India's #MeToo movement, has made new and troubling claims about the harassment she says she has faced over the last five years. In a recent interview, she spoke about emotional stress, feeling unsafe, and even threats from the underworld. She also drew emotional parallels between her situation and the tragic death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput . Tanushree believes there is a continuous effort to silence her, and her story paints a dark picture of what she's been going through. Draws Parallels Between Her Life and Sushant Singh Rajput's In a recent interview with NDTV, the actress revealed that she sees haunting parallels between her own life and that of the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. She shared that they were once set to work together on a film before his untimely death in 2020. Breakdown Was a Result of Years of Harassment Opening up about her emotional breakdown caught on camera, Tanushree described it as the result of years of relentless harassment. She claimed that ever since she spoke out during the #MeToo movement, her life has taken a disturbing turn—alleging that her building's security was changed without her knowledge, her home was broken into, and a maid was planted to tamper with her food. The actor said the breakdown was a direct result of this long, painful ordeal. She also revealed that she was once set to work on a film with Sushant Singh Rajput—an opportunity that had renewed her hopes, knowing that an A-list actor was willing to collaborate with her. Reflecting on his tragic death in 2020, she said she believes there is a deeper connection between his demise and the harassment she has endured over the years. According to her, their stories are not entirely unrelated. Dutta, former Miss India Universe, made another alarming claim, stating that during a recent spiritual trip to Ujjain, the brakes of her autorickshaw were tampered with in what she believes was an attempt to kill her. She alleged that there is a deliberate effort to mentally torment her to the point where she either meets the same tragic fate as Sushant Singh Rajput or is pushed into a state of mental breakdown like Pooja Mishra. The actress has also reignited her allegations against actor Nana Patekar , whom she had previously accused of sexual harassment and misconduct during the #MeToo movement in 2018. In her latest statements, she hinted that her ongoing harassment may be linked to the powerful figures she spoke out against back then. Claims Underworld Involvement and Targeted Surveillance She further claimed that her troubles escalated after she questioned the workings of Nana Patekar's foundation. She alleged that a Rs 5 crore contract was handed to underworld operatives to eliminate her. According to her, while the underworld may no longer have figures like Dawood Ibrahim at the forefront, it continues to exist in subtler, more insidious forms. She also stated that she is constantly being followed. Plans to File Detailed Report with Police Tanushree said that while there's no immediate physical threat to her life, she's taking her time to carefully document every incident from the past five years. Her goal is to eventually present everything to the police in a well-structured manner. However, she expressed disappointment with law enforcement, stating that the police have done little so far, and that she currently places more trust in the media than in the authorities. Earlier in the day, she shared that she has been overwhelmed with media requests as she continues to speak out about the harassment she's been facing. Taking to her Instagram Story, she said she hasn't been keeping well and is adjusting to the sudden attention after years of living a quiet, spiritual life. She asked for patience, assuring that she would speak to everyone in due time.
