Days after actress Tanushree Dutta named and shamed Nana Patekar for allegedly harassing her on the set of a 2008 film, a growing chorus of film industry voices has spoken out in support of her. Among them is actress-turned-author Twinkle Khanna, whose husband Akshay Kumar was criticised by Ms Dutta for making films with Mr Patekar despite allegedly knowing of her accusations against him. "A working environment without harassment and intimidation is a fundamental right and by speaking up this brave woman helps pave the way towards that very goal for all of us," tweeted Twinkle today, with a link to posts shared by journalist Janice Sequeira who says she was on set the day of the alleged harassment and corroborates a large part of what Tanushree Dutta said happened
