Controversy queen Rakhi Sawant and Tanushree Dutta have been embroiled in a war of words ever since the ‘Aashiq Banaya Aapne’ actress accused Nana Patekar of sexually harassing her on the sets of ‘Horn Oka Pleasssss’. Tanushree’s no-holds barred interview was enough to initiate the #MeToo movement in India. Several women from all walks of her life have come forward to share their ordeal on social media after the former Miss India accused Patekar of sexual misconduct. Rakhi had claimed that Tanushree was doing everything for publicity and to secure a place in Salman Khan's BB 12.


Rakhi Sawant organised a press conference on October 24 and accused Tanushree of raping her several times. The former Bigg Boss contestant alleged that Tanushree was a  drug addict and a lesbian.

Tanushree has now hit back at Rakhi and blasted her for making the claims against her.

"For those uninitiated in the art of guerrilla war tactics: Smear campaigns never run fair or square.So just to set the record straight: I'm not a drug addict,I don't smoke or Drink and im most definitely not a Lesbian. Infact I'm too much of a woman for this Partriachal and misogynistic cesspool to handle.Hence the perverted character assasination attempts to shut me up!! It's clearly not working.Lets not make a jokery of such a serious movement that can potentially bring positive changes of mindset in our society,’’ Tanushree said in a statement.
