In spite of getting support from the actress turned writer, Tanushree questioned her husband Akshay Kumar’s professional relationship adding that he is still working with Nana Patekar.
Amidst all the drama, Akshay and Nana have kicked off shooting for their next film, Housefull 4.
In an interview with ZoomTV.com, Tanushree Dutta said that she was thankful to Twinkle Khanna for extending her support. However, she later questioned her and asked ‘what about her husband?’
On the other hand, reacting to the 10-year-old controversy, National award winner, Nana Patekar has refuted the allegations levelled by Tanushree Dutta and has further sought an apology from the actress. Nana stated that he will be taking legal action against the false charges. His lawyer on Friday said that he is soon going to send a legal notice to Tanushree Dutta over the allegations made against the actor.
