Mumbai: Oscar-awarded movie ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ famed actress Freida Pinto also extended her support like other stars to actor and former Miss India Tanushree Dutta. In her new instagram post Freida wrote in bold letters that ‘I Believe Tanushree Dutta’.
Freida took an example of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who is a professor of psychology in America, she has accused US Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, that he has sexually harassed her when she was in High School to say that she believes in survivals of sexual harassment.
Freida called Tanushree brave; here is the full post of Freida Pinto.
Today, I interrupt my feed for a bit from all the fashion week poses to stand by what I truly Believe. I Believe Tanushree Dutta!
Freida Pinto says in her powerful post ‘I believe Tanushree Dutta’:
I don’t need to know her personally, neither have been present on that horrendous day she got bullied, abused both sexually and psychologically, intimidated and shut down in order to corroborate her story.
However, I do know what Truth, Hurt and Abuse sounds like. The same way millions of people in the world know that Dr. Christine Blasey- Ford is NOT a Liar or an attention seeking, tantrum throwing overgrown child.
I add my voice to the other voices coming out in support of Tanushree’s bravery because God knows this is not going to be easy for you, Tanushree. But what you have done is monumental and important and it has to shake the very core of a nation and an ideology that for too long has gotten away with heinous crimes against women and where the ugliness of misogyny has dominated the rights and suppressed any voice that has dared to speak up.
Also, even if someone speaks up (and in Tanushree’s case- speaks up AGAIN) 10 years later, it doesn’t dilute or nullify a factual, verified, double verified truth. Her story is not a carton of milk that expires after a few days, ready to be discarded.
So trolls: please do what you do best but it is not going to change the Truth. I SUPPORT TANUSHREE DUTTA.
