Tanushree Dutta writes an open letter to Ajay Devgn; calls him 'morally bankrupt' for working with Alok Nath

Tanushree Dutta, who made her Bollywood debut with the movie Aashiq Banaya Aapne, hit the headlines after she revisited and opened up again about the alleged sexual harassment that she faced at the hands of veteran actor Nana Patekar. The actress had been away from Indian for years; however, little did Tanushree Dutta know how eventful her trip back to Mumbai would turn out to be. The actress sparked the Me Too movement in the country during which many women from different walk of life spoke came out and spoke about theirhorrifying experience.

Well, the actress is back and has hit the headlines once again with an open letter. Tanushree Dutta has called the tinsel town "full of liars, showoffs and spineless hypocrites". In the open letter, Tanushree has raised the point of Ajay Devgn working with Alok Nath in De De Pyaar De. The statement reads, "Tinsel town is full of liars, showoffs and spineless hypocrites. And it seems by a large public consensus that the signpost is pointing currently at Ajay Devgn. During the #metoo movement in India the actor had tweeted and sworn never to work with those accused and now in a surprising and convenient turn of events is Working with rape and harassment accused Alok Nath and supporting him make a comeback to Bollywood. Doesn't this prove yet again that your big Bollywood heroes are truly zeroes!"

She further wrote, "Overrated actors and human beings who have created a clout by clever PR machinery and careful manipulation of public sentiments, old stuffy morons who can't tell the difference between what's right and wrong and what is the need of the hour!."

Tanushree also made an point that how the makers of the film did not reveal anything about Alok Nath being a part of the film. The statement further reads, "So would it be so difficult to just edit out Alok Nath's portions in the film and hire someone else and reshoot those bits even before the film promotions started?? Nobody even knew before the posters and trailers that Alok Nath is in the film so if Ajay Devgan and the makers wanted they could have just quietly replaced him and re-shot his portions (which is barely 10-15 days for character actors in Bollywood)and given Vinta Nanda the respect she deserves as well as several other women who were troubled by this guy but No! they had to keep the alleged rapist in their film and rub it on not only Vinta's but on all our faces as a show of solidarity with all rapists, molesters and harassers of Bollywood and an even greater show of arrogance and defiance against all things morally and conscientiously right."

She continues, "It's time India wakes up and stops worshipping these morally bankrupt actors, directors, producers and others who clearly put on a facade of being family men just to promote their careers that they build on the tears of women like Vinta and others whom they silence using their muscle power. If you dig deep you will find skeletons in their closets so horrendous that it will totally makes sense why they would stand supporting the accused rapists, harassers and abusers and why their conscience doesn't prick them while doing so and why they give evasive answers when questioned. Birds of a feather always flock together and that's why perhaps it doesn't bother some of these people to work with a guy who has been accused by several women of horrendous behaviour and that's why there's always an excuse.

To the unversed, Alok Nath was accused of rape and sexual harassment by writer Vinta Nanda in October 2018.
