It’s not often that a celebrity breaks down publicly. But when they do, you know it’s serious.
Tanushree Dutta — the woman who bravely kickstarted the #MeToo movement in India back in 2018 — is once again crying out for help. In a gut-wrenching video shared on her social media, the Aashiq Banaya Aapne actress is seen in visible distress, breaking down as she pleads for support.
This wasn’t a publicity stunt. It was raw. It was real. And it was painful to watch.
“I Called the Police Today Because I Had No Choice”
In the now-viral clip, Tanushree captioned her post with a message that hits hard:
“I’m sick and tired of this harassment!! It’s been going on since 2018. #metoo Aaj fed up hokar maine police ko call kiya… Please someone help me! Do something before it’s too late.”
She didn’t mince words. She’s exhausted — physically, emotionally, and mentally. And if you’ve followed her story, it’s not hard to see why.
From #MeToo to Today: Years of Psychological Trauma
Let’s rewind a bit. In 2018, Tanushree made headlines when she accused veteran actor Nana Patekar of sexual harassment on a film set — a move that led to a tidal wave of revelations in Bollywood. While the charges against Patekar were later dropped, Tanushree insists her battle didn’t end there. In fact, she says it only got worse.
According to her, she’s been silently suffering ever since — subjected to what she describes as “psychological warfare” in her own home. The stress, she says, has led to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and an ongoing struggle with anxiety.
Disturbing Footage and Constant Noise: “This Has Been My Reality Since 2020”
In addition to the emotional video, Tanushree also posted an eerie audio clip. In it, strange banging noises and loud disruptions can be heard — sounds she claims are a part of her daily life.
She wrote:
“I have dealt with loud noises like this and other very very loud banging noises above my roof and outside my door almost every day at odd hours since 2020. I got tired of complaining to the building management and gave up a few years ago.”
Now, she says she drowns out the chaos with Hindu mantras and noise-cancelling headphones — a temporary fix for something that feels like a never-ending nightmare.
“Ab Samajh Jao Sab Log”: She’s Done Suffering in Silence
If there was any doubt about the toll this is taking on her, her words say it all.
“Today I was so unwell… I’ve developed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome due to constant stress and anxiety. This has been going on all day and evening, way past acceptable hours!”
She hinted that she will file a formal complaint and mentioned that there’s “a lot more” that she hasn’t yet revealed — but will mention in her FIR.
You could feel the exhaustion in her voice. You could see it in her eyes. This isn’t just about noise. This is about a woman being pushed to the edge in her own home.
Support Is Pouring In — But Will It Be Enough This Time?
Tanushree’s video has sparked an outpouring of love and concern from fans, friends, and fellow celebs. Many are tagging Mumbai Police and local authorities, urging them to take immediate action before something irreversible happens.
It’s 2025, and no one — especially not someone who helped change the industry for the better — should have to live in fear like this.
