Tanushree Dutta breaks down in video, claims harassment at home: 'Do something before it's too late'
In a heart-wrenching video shared on Instagram on Tuesday, the 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne' star was seen visibly distraught and tearful, claiming she is being harassed in her own home.
'I'm sick and tired of this harassment!! It's been going on since 2018 #metoo. Aaj fed up hokar maine police ko call kiya. Please someone help me! Do something before it's too late (sic),' she wrote in her caption.
In the video, Dutta can be seen wiping away tears as she pleads for help. Speaking both in English and Hindi, she revealed, 'Guys, I am being harassed in my own home. Mujhe mere hi ghar mein pareshaan kiya jaa raha hai. I just called the cops. They came and asked me to come to the police station to launch a proper complaint. I will probably go tomorrow or day after. I am not well.'
She went on to describe how years of stress have taken a toll on her physical and mental health. 'Mujhe itna pareshaan kiya gaya hai pichle 4 to 5 saalon mein ki meri tabyat kharab hogyi hai, mei kuch kaam nahi kar paa rahi hoon. Mera ghar poora messy ho chuke padaa hua hai,' she said.
Dutta also claimed that she had negative experiences with domestic workers, alleging that maids planted in her home had stolen from her. 'I cannot even hire maids because they planted maids in my house. I had such a bad experience with maids. They came and stealing stuff from my house. I have to do all my work. I am being troubled in my own house. Please someone help me.'
The video quickly gained attention, with fans and followers expressing concern for her wellbeing and urging authorities to take swift action.
A person commented under the video, 'This makes me soooo sad. I cant believe a star of one period is facing these problems and all everyone is doing is sitting back and watching the show. The culprits should pay. Their shoukd be no one above the law (sic).'
Tanushree Dutta, who has largely stayed away from the limelight since her explosive allegations during the #MeToo wave, has repeatedly voiced concerns about targeted harassment and intimidation.

Bigg Boss fans, the wait is over! The controversial reality show, which has been a source of entertainment for many years now, is set to return to the screens from next month onwards. This time, it promises to stay longer and deliver even more than expected. The makers are reaching out to celebrities and approaching them to participate in Salman Khan's controversial show. But guess what, one contestant is already reportedly confirmed to be a part of Bigg Boss 19. It is Kavya Mehra. But who is she? Who is Kavya Mehra? Kavya Mehra is an AI Influencer from India created by the Collective Artists Network. She is not just a digital avatar of a human, but she is the first AI Mom. Kavya represents modern motherhood through her deep understanding of human experiences. Her content beautifully captures the multifaceted journey of motherhood, blending themes of cooking, family, life and personal well-being. The AI Influencer was created by gathering insights from real mothers in Collective's community. Due to this, her content resonates with Indian moms. But along with this, Kavya also endorses brands and creates lifestyle content ranging from traveling, makeup, clothing and more. According to the IANS report, Kavya Mehra's presence on Bigg Boss 19 will mark a new chapter in the show. A source told them, "To see an AI personality like Kavya on national television would mark a new chapter in how audiences interact with technology.

Tanushree Dutta To NDTV: "No Scope Of Justice In Maharashtra, Molesters Hobnob With Politicians"
Actor Tanushree Dutta, who was at the forefront of India's #MeToo movement, has claimed that she is being stalked, harassed, and psychologically targeted for years, and has not received any help from authorities. On late Tuesday night, the former Miss India Universe posted a disturbing video of her crying on Instagram, alleging that she has been "harassed at my own home" for the past five years, so much so that her "health has deteriorated". Tanushree Dutta told NDTV in an exclusive interaction that she has been facing relentless harassment and intimidation over the past few years, both in public and private spaces, and has been left disillusioned with the system meant to protect her. Speaking in the wake of her distressing Instagram video she posted, the actor claimed to have noticed a pattern of incidents that she said have taken a toll on her mental and physical health. "My experience with the Mumbai Police during the 2018 MeToo movement left a very bitter taste in my mouth," she told NDTV. "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." Tanushree Dutta, known for films such as Aashiq Banaya Aapne, Chocolate, Bhagam Bhag, and Dhol, also alleged that her ordeal hasn't stopped since. She said she suspects that even hotel staff and insiders may have been complicit in stalking and intimidation during her travels. "Whenever I raised the issue at hotels during my pilgrimages, I was either stonewalled or met with excuses. I didn't want drama. I had gone to pray, meditate, and heal. But the incidents followed me everywhere." She claimed food deliveries would arrive tampered with, groceries would be misplaced or opened, packages would be meddled with and there seemed to be a deliberate attempt to destabilise her. "It's psychological warfare," she says. "They're trying to scare me. And it's been happening since I came back from one trip so unwell that I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, triggered by prolonged stress and anxiety." According to Tanushree Dutta, in multiple cities, at different hotels, someone would use a spare key to enter her room. "Whether I was in the room or not, they'd come in, move small things, steal just enough to make me notice. They wanted me to know I wasn't safe even in what should be a private, protected space." Now, she said, the pattern has reached her Mumbai home. "People bang on my door at odd hours. They've left foul-smelling substances outside. I've reported it to my building society many times. Yesterday, when it happened again and no one responded to my calls I broke down. I called the police. They came, spoke to the watchman, but it was all vague, everyone blaming each other. They asked me to visit the Oshiwara Police Station and speak to a senior officer. I said I will but only if they are willing to act. I won't waste more years chasing justice that never comes." Tanushree Dutta's 2018 allegations against veteran actor Nana Patekar helped spark the #MeToo movement in Bollywood. The actor has been away from the world of films since the 2010 movie Apartment, but has kept fans and followers updated about her life through her Instagram page. The latest series of alleged revelations made by the actor, however, indicate that the aftermath of that decision and the fight for accountability is far from over.
