New Delhi: Actress Tanushree Dutta shocked everyone on Tuesday night (July 22) when she dropped a video crying inconsolably and alleged harassment in her own home. She claimed that the maids are being planted in her home who are stealing and doing all kinds of things at home.
Now, in an exclusive conversation with News9 Digital, she spoke about not getting work in the industry due to a lobby working against her.

However, she has not revealed who are the people who are harassing her.
Tanushree Dutta on lobby against her
Speaking to us, she shared, “A lot of my movie projects were systematically sabotaged since 2021. So, I stopped trying to make that work. There was a lobby working against me to make sure I’m completely destroyed just like Sushant Singh Rajput. I’m just working on myself and considering whatever coming my way like events and brand stuff. But all this nuisance has kept me very distracted in general. A whole group of people were making sure that none of my project took off.”
She also spoke about her video and said, “It just happened yesterday, all my suppressed anger and frustration on this ongoing harassment just came out via tears. Sometimes I cry, when I’m too angry or overwhelmed or feeling just helpless about a chronic situation. My life, my well being and my health has been under attack constantly and I just got fed up and snapped.”
However, her family has not contacted her yet. When asked from when did stalking and harassment started, she said, “I can say that it all started after #MeToo in 2018 so public can do the math.”
Tanushree Dutta’s videos
Taking to Instagram, actress Tanushree Dutta can be heard saying, “Guys I am being harassed in my own home. Mujhe mere he ghar mein pareshaan kiya ja raha hai. I just called the cops and they have asked me to visit a police station and lodge a proper complaint. I will probably go tomorrow and do that, I am not keeping well. Mujhe itna pareshaan kiya gaya hai pichle 4-5 saalo me ki meri tabyet kharab ho gayi hai. I am not able to do anything, my house is a mess.”
In another video, she alleged, “I have also dealt with loud noises like this and other very very loud banging noises above my roof and outside my door almost every day at odd hours since 2020 ! I got tired of complaining to the building management and gave up a few years ago. Now I just live with it and put headphones with Hindu mantras to distract my mind and keep my sanity.”
