Actress Swara Bhasker re-tweeted a series of posts and wrote: "This is a long thread, but one that must be read.... lots of clues here as to why Bollywood's #MeToo moment is so far away. Because we don't want to hear these voices." Earlier, Bollywood actors Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan dodged a question about actress Tanushree Dutta’s sexual harassment allegations against veteran actor Nana Patekar. Big B and Mr Perfectionist were present at the trailer launch of their upcoming film ‘Thugs Of Hindostan’ in Mumbai on September 27. During the media interaction, a mediaperson asked Amitabh and superstar Aamir Khan to share their views on the news. Amitabh said: “Naa toh mera naam Tanushree hai, naa hee Nana Patekar. Kaise uttar dun aapko iss sawaal ka? (Neither is my name Tanushree, nor is it Nana Patekar. How do I answer this question?)” On the other hand, Aamir said: “Without knowing the veracity of something or the details of something, I don’t think I can comment. It is not right for me. But I would like to say that whenever something like this does happen, it’s really sad. Now if it has happened or not it is for people to investigate.”
