In 2018, during the MeToo movement, Tanushree Dutta grabbed everyone's attention by accusing Nana Patekar of sexual harassment. Her allegations led to a police complaint against Nana Patekar. However, the case was closed within a year because there wasn't enough evidence or witnesses to support Tanushree's claims.

Recently, Nana Patekar spoke out about the controversy and said he knew the accusations against him were false. While speaking to Lallantop, he said, "I knew it was all false. So, I didn't get angry. When everything was a lie, why would I be angry? And those things are old now, they have already happened. Why talk about them? Everyone knew the truth. When nothing like that happened, what was I supposed to say at that time? Suddenly someone says you did this, you did that. What answer should I give to such things? Should I say that I didn't do it? I know the truth that I did nothing."

He further added, "How can I shut anyone's mouth? If someone does something wrong, I will take them to court. But I don't have time for all that either. We should know how right or wrong we are. That's the only important thing."

For the unversed, Tanushree claimed that Nana Patekar had harassed her sexually while they were filming a song of Horn Ok Pleasss (2008). The issue was renewed in 2018 after the actress also complained to CINTAA that year. Nana allegedly got a clean chit from the police in 2019 after disputing the accusations. The actress, who has spoken out frequently about the difficulties she has encountered in the field over the years, was among the first public figures to spearhead the MeToo movement in the Indian entertainment sector.

While speaking to Connect FM Canada, Tanushree shared an incident from Ujjain and stated that her car breaks have tampered with a couple of times. "I met with an accident and it was a very bad accident. I was just short of breaking some bones. It set me back for a couple of months, and it took me time to heal from those injuries as there was a lot of blood loss.” Dutta further added that a maid that was appointed for her help was actually 'planted' against her enemies. "There was a maid, who was, in my words, planted in my house and I just progressively fell sick. However, now she feels, "It is my suspicion that there was something being mixed in my water."
