Tanushree Dutta Tears Up, Alleges Home Harassment
Actress seeks police aid amid escalating distress
Actress **Tanushree Dutta** has shared a deeply emotional video detailing her ongoing personal struggles, claiming she is being harassed within her own residence. The distressed star has contacted the police for assistance.
Disturbing Allegations of Persistent Harassment
In a tearful Instagram post, **Dutta** revealed, “Guys I am being harassed in my own home. Mujhe mere he ghar mein pareshaan kiya ja raha hai.”
She explained that authorities advised her to file a formal complaint at a police station, a step she intends to take soon due to her current ill health. The actress stated the persistent harassment since 2018 has severely impacted her well-being.
The actress detailed unsettling daily disruptions, including loud, unexplained noises emanating from above her ceiling and outside her door. These disturbances have been occurring with near-daily frequency since 2020.
She expressed frustration after giving up on complaints to building management years ago. The relentless stress has taken a toll on her physical and mental health, leading to chronic fatigue syndrome.
Domestic Life Disrupted, Trust Eroded
Dutta also spoke of difficulties in managing her household, claiming that “planted maids” have made it impossible to hire legitimate domestic help. She recounted negative experiences involving theft by previous hired help, forcing her to manage all household chores independently.
“Meri tabiyat kharab ho gayi hai. Main kuch kaam nahi kar paa rahi hoon. Mera pura ghar messy ho chuka hai. I am being troubled in my own house. Please someone help me,”
she stated, underscoring her current incapacitation.
The impact of such persistent harassment can be significant; research suggests that prolonged stress can contribute to various health issues, with anxiety disorders affecting an estimated 40 million adults in the US alone in a given year (National Institute of Mental Health).
From #MeToo Pioneer to Current Ordeal
This situation brings to mind **Dutta**’s pivotal role in India’s #MeToo movement. In 2018, she publicly accused veteran actor **Nana Patekar** of sexual harassment on the set of the 2009 film *Horn Ok Pleassss*. She also alleged that director **Vivek Agnihotri** made inappropriate demands during the filming of *Chocolate*. While **Patekar** and **Agnihotri** denied the allegations, **Dutta**’s courage to speak out is widely credited with galvanizing the movement.
**Dutta** plans to share further details regarding her upcoming police complaint. In the interim, she is focusing on coping mechanisms, mentioning that listening to Hindu mantras helps alleviate her anxiety.
