Tanushree Dutta Reacts To Nana Patekar Death Reports Again, Calls Them A ‘Positive Development’ Despite Doubts

Actor Tanushree Dutta has shared a new post on Instagram following her earlier reaction to reports of Nana Patekar’s death. Dutta, who had accused the actor of sexual harassment on a film set years ago, had faced criticism for making an “evil dead” remark in response to the news.

In her latest post, Dutta shared a video of herself praying in front of an idol of Mahakal and described the development as positive for her. However, she also expressed doubts about the authenticity of the reports and made several alarming statements about her own future and safety.

What Tanushree Dutta Said In Her Post

In the Instagram caption accompanying the video, Dutta wrote, “Mahakal Baba ke darbar mein meri astha!” She credited Mahakal with protecting her from what she described as multiple attacks on her life and alleged attempts to harm her involving Nana Patekar and his associates.

Reflecting on the timing of her visit, she wrote that she had reached Mahakal’s temple following what she called a “positive development” in her life. However, she added that she had doubts about whether the death reports were authentic.

“I really wish and hope truly this evil is dead and gone for good and that all the evils of my life die off one by one,” she wrote.

Dutta also urged her followers to pray for an end to what she described as persistent negativity and conspiracies against her. Her statements included allegations against unnamed individuals and their associates.

In another part of the caption, Dutta made statements suggesting that she did not want to continue living on Earth if the situation she described did not change. She also appealed to Mahadev to fulfil her wishes, expressing a sense of isolation and distress.

Her remarks have drawn attention because of the intensity of the language used in the post.
