Actress Aditi Rao Hydari has come out in support of Tanushree Dutta, who recently spoke about her experience being sexually harassed by Nana Patekar on the sets of Horn OK Pleassss in context of the #MeToo movement.

Aditi says, “It takes a lot to speak out openly. It took her 10 years because she knew that people were going to pull her down, threaten her, and make her feel afraid. But it takes a lot of courage to speak. And I think all of us, not just women, should listen and understand the reality of the country and the world. It’s time to change and the first step is to accept the fact that such things are happening. We can’t walk around wearing blinkers. We are all afraid, and I think nobody should abuse their power.”
