“Do Something Before Its Too Late” – Tanushree Dutta Says Harassment Hasn’t Stopped Since #MeToo
Tanushree Dutta, the actress who started the #MeToo movement in India, shared a video where she is seen crying inconsolably. In the video, she says that some people are troubling her even inside her own house. She also said that she has informed the police about it.
Tanushree took to Instagram to share a video, in which she appears terribly disturbed and upset. In the video, she said, “I am being harassed in my own house. I just called the cops, and they have asked me to come to the police station to lodge a proper complaint. I will probably go tomorrow or day after. I am not well. I have been harassed so much in the past five years that I have fallen sick. I am unable to work. My entire house has been messy. I can’t hire maids because they plant them in my house. I have had terrible experience with maids who come in and steal and do other things.”
Tanushree shared the video along with the caption, “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.”

The actor has shared another video, which shows only darkness, with a loud screeching sound in the background. With the video, Tanushree wrote, “I have also dealt with loud noises like this and other very very loud banging noises above my roof and outside my door almost every day at odd hours since 2020! I got tired of complaining to the building management and gave up a few years ago. Now I just live with it and put headphones with Hindu mantras to distract my mind and keep my sanity. Today I was so unwell, as you guys know I have developed Chronic fatigue syndrome due to dealing with constant stress and anxiety for last 5 years and this was going on all day and evening way past acceptable and allowed hours.” She also mentioned that she will be providing further details to the police in her FIR.
