Mumbai, Oct 22: With the MeToo movement in India accelerating as the days go by. The campaign commenced with Bollywood actress Tanushree Dutta’s allegations on veteran actor Nana Patekar. The former Miss India shared her story alleging that Nana sexually harassed her during the shoot of a song from ‘Horn Ok Pleassss’, has filed a police complaint and is taking the legal route to address this issue.

Now, according to a report by Republic World, Tanushree Dutta has filed a defamation case on Rakhi Sawant for Rs 10 crore. Advocate Nitin Satpute was quoted saying, “We have filed a criminal and civil defamation case against Rakhi Sawant for maligning my client’s character and image.” He further added that if she fails to revert, she will be punished for two years or fine or both.

In 2008, post Tanushree’s departure from the project, Rakhi stepped in her shoes and finished the special number which featured in the film when it released. Meanwhile, Rakhi Sawant resorted to victim shaming, called the actress a ‘liar’ and said that the allegations against Nana Patekar are ‘cooked up stories’.

On the other hand, Nana Patekar has responded to the complaint filed by Tanushree with the Cine and Television Artistes’ Association (CINTAA), calling her claims ‘motivated’ and ‘malicious’.

Kangana Ranaut attacks ‘Tejasvi Surya’, accuses him of hooliganism mistaking him for Tejashwi Yadav

New Delhi, May 5: Actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut intended to target an opposition leader but mistakenly ended up attacking her BJP colleague instead.

A similarity in names - Tejashwi and Tejasvi - was behind Ms Ranaut's fumble. "There's a party of spoilt princes... whether it's Rahul Gandhi who wants to grow potatoes on the Moon, or Tejasvi Surya who does hooliganism and eats fish," she had said.

RJD leader and former Bihar deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav was supposed to be the original target of her diatribe as one of his videos where he was seen eating fish became a major flashpoint between the BJP and the opposition recently.

Tejasvi Surya, incorrectly referred to by Ms Ranaut during an election rally yesterday, is BJP's Lok Sabha candidate from Bengaluru South constituency in Karnataka.

Meanwhile, Mr Yadav has responded to a clip of Kangana Ranaut's statement. "Ye mohtarma kaun hai?" (Who is this lady?), he posted on X.

Kangana Ranaut has been verbally bashing the Congress party since the BJP fielded her as their Lok Sabha candidate from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi. Congress leaders Vikramaditya Singh - her opponent in Mandi - and Rahul Gandhi have been the main targets on her dartboard.

While addressing a public rally in the Sundernagar area of Mandi Parliamentary Constituency yesterday, Ms Ranaut took a jibe at Mr Singh and Mr Gandhi over dynasty politics and said that both of them have a magic stick for development and talk only about non-practical things.

The Congress hit back saying the 37-year-old actor should first check the facts about her party leaders and speak about dynastic politics. National Media Coordinator for the Congress, Amrit Kaur, also questioned her qualifications on which she got a BJP ticket from Mandi.

The Mandi Lok Sabha constituency will go to polls on June 1, in the seventh phase of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
