In the wake of Tanushree Dutta's allegation that Nana Patekar harassed her on the sets of a film in 2008, Parineeti Chopra said it is important for women in the industry to speak up about harassment they have faced. Dutta, in a recent TV interview, had claimed that Patekar misbehaved with her on the sets of Horn Ok Pleasss 10 years ago.

When asked if this will be the start of a MeToo movement in Bollywood, Parineeti told reporters, "Honestly I really hope this is not the start of a MeToo movement, because it would mean there are several such stories and I hope this is the first and the last story.
