Actor Tanushree Dutta, who has maintained a relatively low profile in recent years, is back in the spotlight after raising serious concerns about her safety. Following a series of distressing videos shared from her home, the Aashiq Banaya Aapne actor has now issued a note to the media, urging patience and understanding during this time.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Tanushree shared, “I’m swamped with interviews and haven’t been keeping well either. I’ve lived a slow, low-key sadhana lifestyle the last few years. I’m trying the best I can. Please bear with me. I’ll talk to everyone slowly, slowly.”
She added, “Pooja was over by the time I was able to finish my interview and sit at the temple.”

This message comes shortly after Tanushree Dutta spoke to News18, where she made startling claims about being under threat. Drawing a parallel to the tragic demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, she said, “The Bollywood mafia gang is huge, and like Sushant, my life is also in danger. There is an attempt to kill me too.”
Earlier this week, Tanushree posted a troubling video in which she appeared visibly shaken. “Guys, I’m being harassed in my own home. I just called the cops. I got worried and called the police. They came and asked me to visit the police station to file a formal complaint. I’m probably going tomorrow or the day after. I’m not well. I’ve been harassed so much in the last 4-5 years that my health has deteriorated,” she said in the video. The actor also claimed that she is unable to hire maids as they are being planted at her house.
In the caption, she wrote, “I’m sick and tired of this harassment!! It’s been going on since 2018 #MeToo. Aaj fed up hokar maine police ko call kiya. Please someone help me! Do something before it’s too late.”
