Koena Mitra says men's gundagiri must stop in Bollywood

Tanushree Dutta opened up a can of worms when she reiterated the allegation that 10 years ago, Nana Patekar had intimidated her and tried to touch her inappropriately on the set of a film, while shooting an item song. She also claimed that the film’s director, producer and choreographer were complicit in the harassment. Among the many who have come out in support of the former actress is one-time friend Koena Mitra.

The actress reportedly said that even though they have not been in touch, she supports Tanushree. She added that there are many actresses who have gone through the humiliation-drill as they are expected to be subservient to the heroes to make them look good.

Koena said that it's high time that the men in the film industry stop their

gundagiri

. They should not be allowed to decide the narrative. She said that it is sickening when a big film producer or male actor is allowed to decide the destiny of aspirants or heroines.

In the meanwhile, Tanushree is not being carried away by the support shown to her by some big names on the social media. She, in fact, questioned a few stars' real intentions behind supporting her. She also reportedly said that she refuses to settle down to being just a

survivor

.
