Another Instargam user commented, “Nautanki Karna band karo Madam… Log Jaan gaye hai tumhari asliyat. Ghaadi ghaadi drama karti ho. We all are fed up from your third class acting. If you’re not safe in Mumbai then go back to USA & Why are you putting your life in danger if anything is true. Nana [Patekar] is the great human being & best actor of Bollywood. Don’t try to defame him Madam…Agar nahi Kaam mil raha toh yeh sab karke Bhi kuch kaam nahi milega Bollywood mein. Sab jaan gaye hai tumhe (Stop this drama, we all know the truth. You won't get work by doing all this).”
In response, Tanushree added, “hmmm. Maine toh iss post mein Nana ka naam bhi nahi liya. Chor ki daadhi mein tinka (I did not even take Nana's name in the post. A guilty conscience needs no accuser)!!”
In the video, Tanushree shared that she is not able to deal with the constant harassment and is compelled to take the matter to the police. In the caption, she wrote: “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 (I reached out to the police today as I was fed up of all this). Please someone help me! Do something before it's too late.”
