Mumbai Police takes action after actor Ranveer Singh files complaint regarding deepfake video, signaling a crackdown on digital deception.
Tanushree Dutta alleging that veteran actor Nana Patekar sexually harassed her on the sets of Horn OK Pleasss is getting addressed as the beginning of #MeToo movement in Bollywood.
On Friday, Bollywood actors Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, who made a joint appearance at the 16th Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, were asked to comment on the raging issue.
Speaking about it, the Padmaavat actress said it was not a man versus woman debate.

“For me, the MeToo movement is not about gender. It’s about the victory of right over wrong. So, anyone who faces any sort of discrimination or any sort of abuse, I think we as a people must support that person. It’s not about a woman or a man or female vs male, let’s not get confused in that conversation,” Deepika said.
While not directly addressing Tanushree Dutta’s allegations against Nana Patekar, Ranveer said any kind of harassment, irrespective of gender, was unacceptable.
“Harassment per se, is wrong. Harassment of anyone. Women, men… Any person being harassed is wrong, whether it is in the workplace, public place, the street, at home… harassment is wrong. Right now there is something that has happened, and there are all kinds of speculations, but if it has happened, it takes a lot of courage to speak about it,” Ranveer said.
“You’ve been through some very disturbing experience. It takes courage to speak publicly about it. Therefore you must consider what the person is saying. But it’s inconclusive yet, so we are confused about what actually happened. But if it has, it is absolutely wrong and I condemn it emphatically. It is beyond gender… Harassment of any kind. If you maliciously act against anyone, it is absolutely wrong,” Ranveer said, eliciting loud applause from the audience.
