Kajol, who is currently busy promoting her film ‘Helicopter Eela’, has also come out in support of Tanushree.


The Bollywood diva, while talking to a news channel, said that sexual harassment is “definitely the reality”. She added that sexual harassment is not only limited to Bollywood or women and said that no industry is free of it.

“I’ve never seen it but I have heard about it and it’s always in rumour form. You never know it, no one is going to come up to you and say ‘Hey, I did this!’ I don’t know how much of it is actually the truth or not,” Kajol told NDTV.

“If it had happened in front of me, I’m sure I would have stood up or done something about it. Never happened to me. I don’t think it would have happened in front of me,” the ‘Dilwale’ actress further told the news channel.

On a related note, Tanushree has released an official statement which stated that she has been slapped with two legal notices, by Patekar and Bollywood director Vivek Agnihotri respectively.
