Rimi Sen comes in support of Nana Patekar

Tanushree Dutt‘s allegations on Nana Patekar sexually harassing her has become the talk of the town. As per the actress, she faced sexual assault on the sets of ‘Horn Ok Please‘ (2008). Tanushree had even claimed that she was also intimidated by Nana during the shoot of the film. Many Bollywood celebs including Farhan Akhtar, Priyanka Chopra, Richa Chadha, Twinkle Khanna among others tweeted in support the actress. But Rima Sen who was in the lead role in ‘Horn Ok Please’ has some other story to tell.

Recalling the days of the shoot of the film, Rima said that Nana Patekar was lonely at that point of time because of which he used to remain frustrated and short-tempered. She even said that her working experience with Nana was good on the sets. “He was short-tempered, but he is not a sexual offender. Yes, I noticed that he loved the company of women, maybe because he was lonely. But if you are asking me if I have faced any physical or indecent advances from him, let me clarify that he has always treated me very well, in fact, he treated me like his daughter. Also, we should know his side of story, before jumping to any conclusion. I feel, a lot depends on the women of the industry and their ambition. If you are talking about the #MeToo movement, there are many offenders, including the 90s stars.” The actress cited her own example, saying, “I was not overambitious…that’s why I avoided them. That’s why I couldn’t do much, even though I deserved a lot, but I have no regrets as I made my choices consciously.”

Rima also opened up on the exploitation that exists in the industry. She said that many directors and producers will try to exploit if someone is willing to go ahead. She further said, “Speaking up about one person will only stop an individual, while everything will go on as it does behind closed doors of the industry. Power jaha pe hai, waha yeh sab chalta rahega, it depends on whether you resist it or you want to go with the flow.”
