Tanushree Dutta Faces Criticism from Co-Star Hetal Yadav

Mumbai, October 24: Actress Tanushree Dutta has often remained in the headlines for her outspoken comments. Actress Hetal Yadav has now shared what it was like to work with her. Hetal said she has worked with both Tanushree and Tanushree's younger sister Ishita Dutta, and that collaborating with Ishita was considerably easier.

Hetal said her professional experience with Tanushree was not a good one. If asked to be completely candid, she felt Tanushree's behaviour on set was unprofessional. She explained that while the crew was giving instructions, Tanushree did not seem to listen. When asked to perform something in a specific way, she would lose focus and grow angry.

Hetal also spoke about a romantic song that she said became troublesome. Tanushree allegedly kept insisting, “Don't touch here, don't touch this.” The film included three songs, and Hetal acted in it and played a role as well.

Hetal said she worked with Tanushree on 'Apartment' and performed three songs in the film. In her opinion, three songs are sufficient to understand an artist's working style. She pointed out that technicians have clear visions and expect performers to deliver them. If the performer struggles, the person is labelled unprofessional. Hetal added that producers and directors were frustrated too, since problems kept cropping up throughout the production.

Hetal went on to praise Govinda, describing him as a remarkable actor whom everyone in the industry admires, including her. She said Govinda's recurring habits have brought both setbacks and successes into his life. She believes that if someone is seen working consistently, their work will not be lost. In her view, no one can take away someone's career, a belief shaped by the difficulties she has endured herself.

Earlier, Tanushree Dutta had claimed that the industry dropped her from several projects and that producers willing to work with her were intimidated into backing away. Commenting on these allegations, Hetal said that if Tanushree had been truly dedicated to her work, she would not have disappeared from the industry. She said she had heard Tanushree claim her work was snatched away and her career destroyed. Hetal stated that while certain projects can be taken away, an entire career cannot. She suggested that producers may simply not have offered Tanushree new projects.

Asked about the controversy involving Nana Patekar and Tanushree Dutta, Hetal said she was not part of that film. She had worked with Tanushree in a different film, where she was an associate choreographer and also played a role. She said she does not know what happened in that incident, and so she cannot make any judgment about it.
