Bollywood stars Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan, who will share the screen space in Thugs of Hindostan, were asked about the ongoing controversy over the allegations levelled by actress Tanushree Dutta. The former Miss India has accused veteran actor Nana Patekar of sexually harassing her.
On Thursday, at a film’s trailer launch, the actors were asked to share their views on the news.

Amitabh steered clear of the controversy by saying, “Naa toh mera naam Tanushree hai, naa hee Nana Patekar. Kaise uttar dun aapko iss sawaal ka? (Neither is my name Tanushree nor is it Nana Patekar. How do I answer this question?)”
On the other hand, Aamir said, “Without knowing the veracity of something or the details of something, I don’t think I can comment. It is not right for me. But I would like to say that whenever something like this does happen, it’s really sad. Now if it has happened or not it is for people to investigate.”
Tanushree, who had first raised the allegation against Nana in 2008, brought the spotlight once again on her unsavoury experience of working with the actor in the film Horn ‘Ok’ Pleassss, during a recent interview.
