The ‘Aashiq Banaya Aapne’ famed actress Tanushree Dutta caused a massive uproar in the media after she accused veteran actor Nana Patekar of sexual misconduct. Since then, she has become a topic of discussion. However, just when it created a turmoil on social media, Nana Patekar finally decided to break his silence on the claims against him.
