Tanushree Dutta took the Bollywood fraternity and fans by surprise when she accused veteran actor Nana Patekar of harassing her during the shooting of their film ‘Horn Ok Pleasss’ in a no-holds-barred interview. Leading tinsel town stars like Priyanka Chopra, Farhan Akhtar, Kalki Koechlin and Shilpa Shetty extended their solidarity to the ‘Aashiq Banaya Aapne' actress. Daisy Shah, who was the assistant choreographer to Ganesh Acharya for Horn Ok Pleasss’, has opened up on the Tanushree Dutta-Nana-Patekar row.
The ‘Race 3’ actress, while talking to an entertainment portal, spoke about the incident in detail. Daisy said that as a woman, she stands by Tanushree in the entire controversy.
The ‘Jai Ho’ actress said that she was present on the sets to help Tanushree learn her steps and she knew nothing whatever happened on the third day of the shoot.
“My job was to give Tanushree the steps, make her learn them and then help her execute. Now what Tanushree has said that I and she had a great rapport. Yes, because we rehearsed for 3-4 days before shooting song and on the sets also for first 2 days everything went very swiftly and on the third day something happened which I am not aware of but Tanushree, being a woman, she has come out and she has said that this is what she has gone through. So I totally sympathize with her,” Daisy told Bollywood Hungama.

Rakhi Sawant, in her press conference, alleged that Tansuhree Dutta was high on drugs in her vanity van and that’s the reason she couldn’t shoot the song. Daisy Shah made it clear that Tanushree’s mom was present with her during the shoot.
‘’I never entered Tanushree’s van so I can not comment on this, but one thing I am sure is that on that day, when the entire incident took place, Tanushree’s mom was with her. So no person in the right state of mind will dope with their mother being around,’’ Daisy told the portal.

The actress also backed the claim that there was chaos on the sets while filming the song.
‘’Oh, there was a lot of hungama that happened on the second half of the day, and on the third day of shoot. Umm, first half went pretty well, after lunch, there was supposed to be a short shot there but apparently Tanushree came out, she rehearsed for this shot and then she went and locked herself in the vanity van,’’ Daisy told the website.

‘’And now in the midst of this I don’t know what happened. I don’t know what happened when she was rehearsing for that particular step. Must be something. She must have been touched in a wrong way or whatever it is. So that is something and again, me as an assistant, I was not only there to teach the steps to Tanushree, there was a big setup. We had 60-70 dancers,’’ Shah further added.
