This is Bollywood and It Lives in Denial"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p><span class=\"dropcap\">E<\/span>xactly a week ago, 34-year-old <\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/world-needs-more-difficult-women-tanushree-dutta\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tanushree Dutta<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a former beauty pageant winner and Bollywood outsider whose presence would otherwise be confined to fitful mentions in tabloids, did the unthinkable: She revolted. Against the yawning abyss of Bollywood that drowns out any voices of dissent. She compelled them to listen to every word she uttered on national television.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In her controlled, but moving account, Dutta eschewed conventional industry decorum, making direct and public accusations against actor Nana Patekar, who sexually harassed her with impunity on the sets of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Horn Ok Pleasss<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. She called out the hypocrisy of A-list actors who continued working with Patekar \u2013 a man whose abusive behaviour is an open secret \u2013 and the archaic mechanisms of a supposedly modern industry that continues to protect predators. In reminding the country about the intimidation, violence, and harassment she single-handedly endured back in 2008, Dutta exposed the apathy of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hindi film industry<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, that passionately fosters a culture of denial.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The humiliation of Dutta, who <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mumbaimirror.indiatimes.com\/entertainment\/bollywood\/i-want-justice\/articleshow\/15797806.cms\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">demanded<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> justice for the incident back in 2008, did not happen behind closed doors. Instead it unfolded in full public view of thousands of people, people with the power to control and change things\u2026 people who chose to look the other way. People who now accuse her of not saying anything earlier. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ten years ago, Dutta, who was about to shoot a solo <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/series\/invisibles\/girl-behind-kaala-chasma-bollywood\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">item song<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for Rakesh Sarang\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Horn Ok Pleasss<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, was informed about a last-minute change that she was expected to silently comply with. It involved matching steps with Patekar, the film\u2019s male lead and doing an \u201cintimate sequence\u201d with him \u2013 an idea nurtured in Patekar\u2019s head and supported by the film\u2019s choreographer and director. During rehearsals, Patekar allegedly manhandled Dutta and insisted on teaching her the \u201cvulgar steps\u201d he choreographed. It left the actress reeling; her protests were promptly shut down by the choreographer and the director. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then, Bollywood ganged up on her.<\/span>\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\">When I asked Fox Star Studios their stance on working with men accused of harassment, a spokesperson reiterated that they take no responsibility for it<\/blockquote>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They slapped her with a legal suit. Before that, they called in goons from the MNS (a political party Patekar is close to) to vandalise her car. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/entertainment\/video-of-tanushree-duttas-car-being-attacked-allegedly-in-2008-goes-viral-1924792\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">video footage <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of the attack, doing the rounds now \u2013 like it had 10 years ago \u2013 paints an even horrendous picture: As the crowd furiously knocked on the windows and broke the windshield, one man jumped on the roof of the car while she was in it. While recounting the incident in her interview last week, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/christine-blasey-ford-tanushree-dutta-and-the-future-of-metoo\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dutta<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> claimed that what happened with her was nothing short of a \u201cmob lynching\u201d. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They followed it up with utter silence over the incident. Dutta\u2019s last film released in 2010, she was labelled \u201cunprofessional\u201d, and eventually became persona non grata \u2013 the price you have to pay for taking on a sausage fest of an industry. Bollywood, after all, brooks no complaints against one of their own, by which I mean only men. This is a place where the accusation of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/sexual-harassment-kevin-spacey-bryan-cranston-shakti-kapoor\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">harassment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is more incriminating than the act itself. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because no matter how hard you scream, Bollywood does not want to know. This is a machinery oiled by collective denial. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Denial is what makes A-listers like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/disarre\/amitabh-bachchan-paradise-papers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amitabh Bachchan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Aamir Khan, and Salman Khan respond with anger when asked to take a stand against a male oppressor. It\u2019s a studied, expected feigning of ignorance of Bollywood\u2019s toxic networks. Denial is what explains the flourishing careers of Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt, despite allegations of abuse and mistreatment of women. Denial enables Bollywood\u2019s machinery to ignore their misdemeanours \u2013 denial ensures this abusive behaviour becomes the norm. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forget A-listers, denial safeguards the career of a Shakti Kapoor, who recently proclaimed that he had no idea about the Tanushree Dutta case because he was \u201ca kid\u201d in 2008, even though various reports have detailed his predatory behaviour. This includes the time he <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehindu.com\/thehindu\/mp\/2004\/08\/30\/stories\/2004083002610100.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">judged<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> an \u201cItem Bomb\u201d hunt for Zee Music and inquired about a small-town girl\u2019s virginity, compared waistlines to a \u201ctwo-bedroom apartment, and revealed \u201cA bomb must ooze sex. I\u2019m looking for tits and ass.\u201d Denial guarantees why Anurag Kashyap can speak up for the actress on social media but turn a blind eye to the man accused of harassment in his own production house.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this industry-wide frat house, perpetrators are put on a pedestal. It\u2019s why <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/nana-patekar-comment-of-the-week\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nana Patekar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> commanded the industry\u2019s sympathy 10 years ago and continues signing film offers even now. Barely two days after Dutta\u2019s accusations against him, Patekar jetted off to Jaisalmer for the shoot of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Housefull 4<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a big-budget affair headlined by Akshay Kumar and produced by Fox Star Studios and Nadiadwala Grandson. When I asked Fox Star Studios their stance on working with men accused of harassment, a spokesperson reiterated that they take no responsibility for it, as \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fox Star Studios is not in any way connected with the production of the film <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Housefull 4<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It has merely acquired the rights to distribute the film.\u201d The spokesperson for Nadiadwala Grandson, on the other hand, declined to comment. (The latter is also producing <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Super 30<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, directed by Vikas Bahl who was accused of sexual harassment just last year).<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no better evidence of the embedded understanding in the industry that men will be there for men than the apology rendered by the Cine &#038; TV Artists Association (CINTAA) yesterday. In his statement, actor Sushant Singh, who\u2019s also the General Secretary of the organisation, admitted that they had wronged the actress when she approached them for justice in 2008 and apologised to her. At the time, her <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/sexual-harassment-women-safety-eve-teasing-india-mumbai\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sexual harassment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> complaint was overlooked although CINTAA had settled the monetary dispute. In a way, CINTAA\u2019s handling of Dutta\u2019s 2008 complaint reveals the reason behind rampant sexual harassment in the industry: a collective denial to believe women or hold men accountable. Why else would women like Dutta, be penalised for demanding a safe work environment? <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several parallels between Dutta\u2019s case and that of the Supreme Court judge Brett Kavanaugh who is facing charges of sexual assault by a bunch of women. At the very least, the timing of it all is uncanny. As historian Rebecca Solnit writes in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lithub.com\/they-dont-want-to-know-rebecca-solnit-on-brett-kavanaugh-and-the-denial-of-old-white-men\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an article<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on LitHub, \u201cThey don\u2019t want to know. They don\u2019t want to know what these women or any women have experienced and what they have to say. They don\u2019t want to add up the pieces of what all the people who knew Brett Kavanaugh as an incoherent hardcore drunk in his youth have told us about him\u2026 He is from a culture of the suppression of knowledge, and he has told us so directly. He joked in a 2015 speech \u2018What happens at Georgetown Prep, stays at Georgetown Prep,\u2019 a familiar phrase that in its various versions has justified a tribalism that protects its own against the larger society by hiding facts.\u201d <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bollywood displays this tribalism in its most primal form. It\u2019s structures ensure that no male actor has or ever will, face repercussions for their actions.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> According to Shyni Shetty, who was an Assistant Director on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Horn Ok Pleasss <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and an eyewitness to Dutta\u2019s assault, the dance steps that the actress had objected to remained unchanged, when Rakhi Sawant took over. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the end, the only person who got to have his way was Nana Patekar. The women, as usual, remain Bollywood\u2019s biggest losers. \u00a0<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No matter how hard you scream about sexual harassment within the industry, Bollywood does not want to know.
