Asha Bhosle lauds women coming out in open to speak against sexual harassment

She added that she pursued her singing career while taking care of her family. “Women are being exploited for many decades. Earlier, people used to have a perception that they should spend their entire life in kitchen and take care of their family and children. I think women should come out of that, the way I came out of it. I took care of my house, family and children, but at the same time, I pursued my singing career,” said the veteran singer.

Recently Tanushree Dutta claimed that veteran actress Nana Patekar had harassed her on sets of movie Horn Ok Please in 2008. Janice Sequeira, a journalist, backed her allegations, claiming to be an eyewitness of the incident. Tanushree also alleged that filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri had told her to strip and dance on the sets of 2005 released film Chocolate.

Earlier, many Bollywood celebrities like Farhan Akthar, Swara Bhasker, Sonam Kapoor, Twinkle Khanna and Priyanka Chopra came out in the support of Tanushree who opened floodgates against sexual harassment at the workplace by joining #MeToo Movement in Bollywood.
