Bollywood actress Tanushree Dutta has alleged that actor Nana Patekar paid Rakhi Sawant Rs250,000 to defame her during the #MeToo movement in 2018.

In a video posted on Instagram, Tanushree claimed that Rakhi received between Rs200,000 and Rs250,000 in cash at Nana Patekar’s Mumbai residence. She alleged that the payment took place two days before Rakhi held a press conference against her.

Tanushree Says She Received Information From Rakhi’s Friend

According to Tanushree, she learned about the alleged payment from Rajshree More, who is described as a close friend of Rakhi Sawant.

The actress said she was under significant mental stress during that period. She added that the allegations made against her at the time increased her difficulties.

The claims relate to the controversy surrounding Tanushree and Nana Patekar during India’s #MeToo movement in 2018, which brought allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct into public discussion.

Neither Rakhi Sawant nor Rajshree More has publicly responded to Tanushree’s latest allegations, according to the supplied report.

The alleged payment has not been independently verified. The claims should therefore be treated as allegations rather than established facts.
