Nana Patekar holds a press conference; Retains his 10 year old stand on Tanushree Dutta's sexual harassment allegation

Earlier in the day it was reported that Nana Patekar who had a press conference scheduled for today, had cancelled it at the last minute and his son reportedly sent out a message declaring that. However, while the new date was awaited for this PC, Nana just addressed the media in Mumbai and here's what he said about the allegations, which in particular is nothing new but the old statement that the actor repeated before the press. "The truth which was there 10 years back, stands true even today"-he said. He refused to talk further saying his lawyers do not wish him to say anything more. Nana said - "Ye to mai hamesha aapse milta rehta hun toh mujhe koi dikkat nahi thi lekin unhone jab kaha hai to mujhe ye karna pada. so will you please pardon me for that! Thank You!"  Media - "Nana ek line mei bataa dete bas aap.. apne statement de deejiye bas aap!" Nana: "10 saal pehle jo bola tha wo hi bolna hai! kya bolna hai! kal jo sach tha wo aaj sach hai! aaj jo sach hai wo kal sach hi rahega. wo badalte nahi rahega!" [He gets up with his hands folded]

In one of her recent interviews, Tanushree has revealed that Nana Patekar had harassed her on the sets of 2008 film 'Horn OK Pleassss' and even demanded to do an intimate dance step with her during the song's shooting which made her comfortable. Big Bollywood names like Priyanka Chopra, Kangana Ranaut, Farhan Akhtar among others came out in Tanusree's support calling it India's #MeToo movement. While returning to Mumbai recently from his 'Housefull 4' shoot in Jaisalmer, Nana had reacted to press following him and urging him for his reaction on Tanushree's alleagations, with "I have already answered... Jo jhooth hai woh jhooth hai (what is a lie is a lie)".
