Actor Nana Patekar died in the early hours of October 8 in Goa at the age of 75 from a cardiac arrest. Tanushree Dutta , who had accused the actor years ago of sexual harassment on a film set, made an ‘evil dead’ remark after his death. She received flak for it, and has now made another video to hit back at the criticism for her comments.
Tanushree accused Nana of sexual harassment on the set of the 2009 film Horn ‘Ok’ Pleassss. In 2018, during the Me Too movement, the claim became public. In 2019, the case was closed for lack of sufficient evidence.
Because of his own deeds, toh mujhe thoda doubt hai yeh sachme mara hai ya bhaagne ki koi tarkeeb hai (He has died. Because the way the investigation has been going on in the Sushant Singh Rajput and Disha Salian case many are being exposed. Because the complaint was filed beyond the legal limitation period, in 2025, the Mumbai Andheri Magistrate Court officially dismissed the criminal proceedings against Nana.
Tanushree shared a live video where she doubled down on her remarks on Nana Patekar. She then callled him ‘shaitaani, cunning, manipulative, shaatir dimag, jhootha (wicked, liar). The actor shared, “Yeh apne haathon mara hai, agar mara hai toh. I am little bit doubtful. Kyunki jaise Sushant Singh Rajput-Disha Salian ka case nikal aaya hai, toh bahot saare log expose hue hai aur bahot hie gehri investigation chal rahi hai. Toh dur dur se bhi kisika connection hai toh uska aaj nahi toh kal naam aane wala hai. Even if there was a connection far off, their names are coming up now. So he can’t run away. I am still doubting that he has really died or if this is another of his tricks). An FIR was registered against Nana, who denied the allegations.
She said that if people are so concerned about her speaking ill about someone after their death then they should stop burning effigies of Raavan too.
In a previous post, Tanushree alluded to the abuse she alleged Nana had committed. She re-shared a post written by Sandhya Mridul, which read: “Does a person stop being an abuser when they die? Does the harm they caused disappear too? For survivors, it doesn’t. She also reshared a video recounting how she refused to do an unscripted intimate step with Nana, and was only attacked for it. Tanushree also filed police complaints and with the artist association, but no action was taken. After news broke of Nana’s death, Tanushree posted videos of her boarding a flight to Lucknow for an event. I am going to Lucknow for an event. And I want to focus on that.
