Tanushree Dutta claimed that attempts were made to kill her after she made bold revelations during the #MeToo movement in 2018. The actress said that someone had even tried to poison her.

Tanushree Dutta, in 2018, spearheaded the #MeToo movement in the country. The actress made bold revelations about how Nana Patekar misbehaved with her while shooting for Horn OK Pleassss in 2008. Tanushree had also said that though she was being harassed, she would not resort to suicide. Recently, the actress went on to talk about the aftermath of the #MeToo movement. She claimed that attempts were made to kill her.

Tanushree Dutta had penned strong notes after she catapulted the #MeToo movement in 2018. During a recent interview, the actress claimed that attempts were made to kill her after her revelation about Nana Patekar, and others. Speaking to Connect FM Canada, Tanushree said that her car brakes were also tampered with. She said, “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.”

She also felt someone tried to poison her. The Chocolate actress said, “There was a maid, who was, in my words, planted in my house and I just progressively fell sick. Now, it is my suspicion that there was something being mixed in my water.”

Tanushree Dutta had shared why she brought up the incident with Nana Patekar which happened 10 years ago. During Aaj Tak Mumbai Manthan 2018, the actress said, "I was harassed on a set by these four individuals including Nana. The coverage 10 years ago was sensationalised. I left disappointed. The doors I knocked on, did not respond. Now, I was back to the country 10 years ago. I addressed a press conference nonchalantly a few days ago. Now, the country has risen. Everything that followed, like a pack of cards falling - has come as a surprise to me."

She had further stated, "The #MeToo movement was carried forward all over the world. Somehow in India, people couldn't speak up given how our society works. The entire ecosystem - seeks to discourage such revelations. I think it was just time perhaps. Change is an ongoing process. We are changing and transforming every moment. There are still many women who are hesitant to speak. They are still under the fear. What you see right now is just the tip of the iceberg. And a few men have been held accountable. I wouldn't call it a blast of a change, but this could in future lead to a Utopian situation that you are talking about [change in women and men]."
