Amidst the ongoing controversy, Tanushree Dutta held a press conference clarifying her side. While talking to the media, Tanushree shared one more incident where she faced harassment but this time, she had the support of the film’s lead actor.
The actress shared that while she was shooting for Chocolate: Deep Dark Secrets, director Vivek Agnihotri asked her to give cues to Irrfan Khan for a scene in which she was not even present. He had asked Tanushree to remove clothes and dance.
Tanushree said, “Vivek Agnihotri wanted me to give cues to Irrfan Khan. He said ‘Kapde utaar ke naacho’. It was Irrfan’s close-up and he had to just look at something and give expressions. However, Irrfan replied, ‘I don’t need her to take off her coat and dance for me to give facial expressions.’ I really appreciated that he actually spoke up like that because it was his close-up shot. I’m not in the frame. Suneil Shetty also spoke up. He was also there, he heard it and he got offended by it. He was like, ‘Main aayun kya wahaan cues dene ke liye?’ Yeah of course, there are good people in the industry. Both, Irrfan Khan and Suniel Shetty spoke up. Suneil scolded that guy.”
