Lewd Nana shocks Tanushree Dutta!

Tanushree Dutta and her parents are unlikely to forget March 26, 2007.

“We’ve been through hell, and back. My car is smashed to pieces due to mob fury. But what has happened to my dignity and selfrespect and my identity as a woman are irreparable,” the shaken actress said on Thursday afternoon.

It all started when Tanushree was approached to do an item song for Rakesh Sarang’s Horn Ok Please.

“I made it clear to the producer director and choreographer Ganesh Acharya that I’m not a run-of-the-mill item girl. I was very particular about my clothes and movements. We rehearsed for nearly a week for the song. And now they’re saying I was uncooperative and not ready to rehearse.”

What awaited Tanushree on the set was four days of horror. “From the start I wasn’t comfortable with Nana Patekar’s presence. In fact after the first day of shooting I told my mother something didn’t feel right there.

Nana had just three words O yara re in the song. Still he insisted on being around throughout. That was fine. He’s the film’s hero and it’s his prerogative. But then he started acting hugely aggressive.

Instead of the choreographer Nana started showing me the steps. I don’t know since we has become an expert dancer.”

Tanushree made her displeasure at the actor’s intervention very clear. “A couple of times I pushed his hands away when he got too close for comfort. But it didn’t seem to make a difference to him.

He continued to direct my steps roughly and aggressively. Things got really out of hand when Ganesh incorporated steps where Nana could get physically close to me.”

That’s when the actress chose to walk off the set and locked herself up in her van. “Not for three hours, as they reported on the tv channels. But for 90 minutes.

They called up Mr Pehlaj Nihalani to intervene and he told them to change the steps if being a girl they made me uncomfortable. I finally came out of my van…only to be told they won’t change the steps. Why? Was it Valmiki’s Ramayan that every word had to be faithful?

I think the poroducer, director and choreographer had decided to teach me a lesson. They threatened to call the media on the sets and proclaim I was uncooperative. I didn’t know how serious they were. Nana apparently had left by then.”

Tanushree decided to leave too. “But my car with my parents in it was surrounded by hordes of tv journalists. When they couldn’t get a sound bite from me they pushed themselves into the front seat of my car.

When that didn’t work they began banging on the windshield with their cameras. My parents and I were trapped inside my car.

Anything could’ve happened. We frantically tried to call the producer and director. They had both switched off their mobiles.”

Finally someone had the presence of mind to inform the cops. That’s when Tanushree and her parent’s nightmare ended.

The Duttas have lodged an FIR against those who allegedly attacked them in her car at the Goregaon police station.

“What I want to know is, where was the security at Filmistan studio when I was attacked? Where was the producer and director?

They’ve wasted no time in replacing me with Rakhi Sawant for the song and labeling me uncooperative. But why did they realize how unprofessional I was on the fourth day?

Can they get others in the film industry to accuse me of undisciplined behaviour? Or did they think they could mess with me and manhandle me just because I’m a girl?”

I was never meant to get pregnant

Priyanka Chopra has been shooting nights for Madhur Bhandarkar’s Fashion. And no, it isn’t because they needed to rework the script.

“I don’t know where these stories come from. Apparently I asked Madhur to change the climax of the plot so that my character doesn’t get pregnant.

Now where did that come from?Madhur is a very competent director. Do you think he’d allow any actor to tamper with the script? Yes, the two of us sat down on the script and threshed it out over 6-7 months.

Once that was done, we went by the script completely. I’d be the last person to ask for changes once I begin shooting. “

As for her character getting pregnant Priyanka laughs, “That was never in the script. The ending was decided at the scripting stage. The girl was never meant to get pregnant.

Why would I shy away from doing something unconventional? I started with Aitraaz which was as unconventional as they come. I’m so amused by all the speculation about Fashion.

Just shows how much interest the film is generating. In spite of the constant attention we’ve shot a majority of the film. We’re all working really hard on it. “

As for the film being inspired by the lives of real- life ramp -walkers Priyanka clears the air. ” Fashion is a work of fiction.

It’s not meant to be a khulasa (frankspeak) on the modeling world. Basically it’s the story of this one girl’s biographical journey, just like Tabu in Madhur’s Chandni Bar or Bipasha in Corporate.

The fashion world is my character’s backdrop. My character could very well have been a part of the any other profession. “

Priyanka admits she has never been more nervous about any of her films. “It’s a very nerve-wracking character and I hope I’m able to live up to people’s expectations. “

Priyanka has to cram in as much of the shooting as possible for Fashion before she rushes off in March to Miami for Karan Johar’s Dostana directed by Tarun Mansukhani.

“That would be a welcome sunny seaside change after shooting the intense scenes indoors on a set for Fashion. It’s a young peppy frothy film. Totally different from Fashion. “

Yuvraj wasn’t faithful to Deepika

The very gorgeous Deepika Padukone has surely created a wave amongst men after her sensational and outstanding debut with OSO, so much so that she has been seen with various men at various phases of her life, post the success of the film..

The girl was spotted first with cricketer Dhoni and later in Australia with Yuvraj Singh with whom she spent her birthday in a grand style..

Well, after all this, the girl now seems to have jumped to another shoulder and the buzz now is that she is dating newcomer and star-son, Ranbir Kapoor.

Now, what exactly is the truth?

According to our sources, “Deepika is in reality a conservative cultured well brought-up girl with the right values. Her relationship with a cricketer fell flat in Australia where he was constantly cheating on her.

The heartbroken girl got a solid support system from Ranbir Kapoor at this point of time. They’re both in a very happy relationship right now”.

On the work front, Deepika has just returned from shoot with Akshay Kumar in Bangkok for Chandni Chowk, and will travel again for the same film later this week..

Looks like work comes first for Deepika now!!
