Tanushree Dutta has to be credited for bringing the #MeToo wave in Bollywood. She has openly talked about her ill-experiences and encouraged women to speak up about their struggles. Amongst the many stories, the one that shocked the most was female singers including Sona Mohapatra accusing veteran singer Anu Malik.

Sona Mohapatra has been very vocal about her experiences and constantly spoken about the fact that he is still getting work and is allowed to judge Indian Idol 11 along with Neha Kakkar and Vishal Dadlani. Supporting her stand, Tanushree has now questioned Indian Idol co-judge Neha Kakkar for working with Anu Malik.

Tanushree Dutta SLAMS Neha Kakkar, Sony TV For Working With Anu Malik: “Are TRPs More Important Than Human Values?”

Questioning Neha’s silence on the whole issue, Tanushree said, “She might have got a taste of what it feels like to be harassed when a contestant forcibly kissed her on the show. But again, like her decision to work with Anu Malik, Neha decided not to press charges on the disgusting guy! It was cringeworthy to watch a female celebrity being mauled like that on TV.”

She also slammed the channel for still having Anu Malik as a judge on the show. She condemned the fact that Sony Channel was not doing anything about it and said, “What shocks me most is how Sony, which is supposed to be a family-friendly channel, has allowed such a person to remain as a judge when several talented and high-profile women have come forward with their stories of harassment against him. Are TRPs more important than human values? Shouldn’t people who misbehave be held accountable for their deeds.”
