The press has condemned Bollywood starlet Tanushree Dutta, without even reporting any side of the story let alone both. The director has booted her off the set, with an alacrity that would make Donald Trump look like a procrastinator. Tanushree herself refuses to speak.
It is wise to keep your mouth shut if you have nothing to say in your defense but mostly people don't speak when they are afraid of the repercussions.
So what really happened on set of Horn OK Please at Filmistan Studio, Wednesday, March 26?
We think Bollywood has a plot for its next pot boiler, because we smell a stink!
The TV channels are gleefully reporting that Tanushree has been booted out of the film. and replaced by Rakhee Sawant.

One channel, that we monitored yesterday evening, encouraged Ms Sawant to bad mouth Tanushree and espouse the virtues of the press for good 15 minutes. We cannot recollect when the Chief of the Army Staff, who is responsible for the security of our nation, was allowed 15 minutes of air time.
Good lord! They could get no one better than Rakhee Sawant to speak about the virtues of the press!
In its report a national news agency, without bothering to report on the sequence of events, said a member of Tanushree Dutta's security detail molested a press reporter.
The report actually wants us to believe that in the middle of the fracas the man had a surge of hormones and turned uncontrollably randy and began to molest a female reporter! To us it sounds like concoction of a delirious mind.

What is clear to us is that the press, including the national TV channels, are out for blood. Not the blood of a serial killer on the loose or a top ranked terrorist. They are after the blood of Tanushree Dutta, all of 24 year-old and 5' 7."
We reported the incident based on what our photog saw yesterday, hours after the incident occurred. We are sticking by our report because we have no reason to believe our report was inaccurate.
Going by what we know, Tanushree Dutta has a right to say no to any physical contact that she considers inappropriate, no matter who is making it or if it occurs in an item song.
She should not have been booted off the sets. Instead, the matter could have been resolved with more sensitivity - skin colored clothes, for example.
Forcing an unwelcome physical contact is tantamount to outraging the modesty of a lady and we have a problem with it.
If the modesty of press reporter was also outraged in a related incident, that too is reprehensible to us.
We think the press needs to be fighting two battles here. One for Tanushree Dutta and one for the reporter whose equipment was damaged / modesty outraged. We don't think Tanushree Dutta should be condemned for what her father or a member of the security detail did.
However, we don't know all the facts. Like we said before, we just smell a stink.
We would like all our readers, specially the female readers, to speak their mind on this issue.
