Priyanka Chopra and a host of other high-profile celebrities have come out in support of a Bollywood actress who claimed she was harassed by a veteran actor.
Tanushree Dutta, a former Miss India, claimed Nana Patekar, a veteran actor now aged 67, had harassed her on sets of a film in 2008. She had made the same allegations shortly after the incident and Patekar denied the allegations.
Chopra tweeted: 'Agreed..the world needs to #BelieveSurviviors.'
Dutta recently told Zoon TV: 'Back then, these incidents would be discussed only behind closed doors and not openly, as is being done now. No one supported me.'

Calls to Patekar on Friday went unanswered, but Rajendra Shirodkar, a lawyer for Patekar, threatened legal action against Dutta for making 'false allegations'.
'We've sent her a notice for making false allegations. She should apologize to my client,' Shirodkar told Reuters. 'If she doesn't, then we shall chart a future course of action'.
Dutta alleges that Patekar wanted an 'intimate step' with her in a dance number in the film 'Horn OK Please'.
When she refused, Dutta alleges that Patekar called workers of a local political party who damaged her car and threatened her.

The #MeToo movement has found resonance in Bollywood, where the vast majority of producers and film-makers are men, most of whom are from prominent families in the film industry.
As well as Priyanka, a slew of high-profile Bollywood stars including Twinkle Khanna, Sonah Ahuja and Farham Akhtar backed Tanushree as they referenced Janice's thread.

However, despite a plethora of support, Bollywood actor Salman Khan received backlash for this response after he was asked about Tanushree's case.
'I am not aware of this. Let me understand what is happening and I am sure the legal teams will handle that,' Khan told a journalist at a recent event.
However, Twitter users slammed the star for attempting to 'humiliate' the journalist with his response and even predicted that once he's aware of the full story, he would most likely side with Nana.

The #MeToo movement was a viral hashtag which has inspired women who claim to have been victims of sexual harassment or assault to share their stories.
The hashtag took off in October 2017 in an attempt to demonstrate widespread prevalence of sexual assault or harassment.
It took off shortly after the allegations against movie producer Harvey Weinstein.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
