Everybody was in for a shock when actress and model Tanushree Dutta alleged veteran Bollywood actor Nana Patekar of sexual allegations. Now actor, director and writer Farhan Akhtar has become the first person to voice his support for the actress.

Citing journalist Janice Sequeira, his latest social media posts talks in support of actress Tanushreee. “This thread is very telling. @janiceseq85 was there at the time of the incident being debated today. Even when #TanushreeDutta had career concerns to keep quiet 10 years ago she did not & her story hasn’t changed now. Her courage should be admired, not her intention questioned,” he said.

Not only him actresses like Priyanka Chopra and Richa Chadha came in and supported the actor’s statements as well. Here are the posts below:

It hurts to be #TanushreeDutta rn. To be alone, questioned. No woman wants publicity that opens the floodgates of trolling and insensitivity.What happened to her on set was intimidation.Her only fault was she didn’t back down-takes a special courage to be #TanushreeDutta.
