Bollywood actress Tanushree Dutta, who made her acting debut with 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne' opposite Emraan Hashmi & Sonu Sood, is getting huge support from Bollywood fraternity after she opened-up about being sexually harassed by veteran actor Nana Patekar. The veteran actor dismissed the actress' accusations and announced that he'll be holding a press conference today (8th October) to address the issue. But now, the controversy has taken a new turn as Nana Patekar, who was expected to share his side of story during the press conference, has stepped back at the last moment.

Reportedly, Nana Patekar has cancelled the press conference at the last minute and the rescheduled dates are yet to be announced.

But why would he do this? Well, the reason behind the same is yet unknown but we're waiting for Nana Patekar to open-up on the allegations of sexual harassment against himself.

Nana Patekar, who was busy shooting for his next film 'Housefull 4' in Jaisalmer, recently returned to Mumbai. At the Airport, he dodged the questions related to the whole controversy and said, "I have already answered... Jo jhooth hai woh jhooth hai (what is a lie is a lie)".
