In December 2018, I was offered a film by a very big producer. He has made some great films. But his director was accused of #MeToo and I immediately rejected the opportunity.

He felt that it has been a long time since #MeToo and if he casts me in his film, it will give the impression that I stand with him. He wanted to change his image through me. If I did that film, it would seem that the leader of #MeToo is now supporting an accused. I politely refused. An agency was involved in this. I told them that I want to let the film go. I also consulted my father on this matter to know his opinion and he told me that it would not be morally right to do a film with someone who is an accused". Tanushree said that she sacrificed when she needed work. Now, she hopes that others can also show such honesty and work towards bringing about change.
