Bollywood actor Nana Patekar, accused of sexually harassing his co-star Tanushree Dutta a decade ago, on Saturday found support from unexpected quarters: farm widows of Maharashtra.
The Vidarbha Farm Widows Association staged a demonstration at Pandharkavada village, demanding an end to “the victimisation of our brother Nana Patekar.”
The women raised slogans in favour of Patekar and said that Dutta is “unnecessarily defaming Patekar”, a ‘father-figure’ who has been helping these women whose husbands committed suicides due to agrarian crisis.
