When the Me Too campaign was launched in India in 2018, Tanushree had alleged that Nana Patekar, choreographer Ganesh Acharya and director Vivek Agnihotri misbehaved with her during the shooting of the film. Tanushree has said that Nana tried to sexually harass her during the shooting of a song for the film ‘Horn OK Please’ in 2008.

In an interview given to Hindustan Times in 2022, she said, “A lot has happened since I returned to India.” I want to restart my career. I am trying and people are willing to work. Even though the Bollywood mafia says that my image is bad, I have been signed for films as well as web-projects but suddenly they are not completed. Directors go into silent mode or projects are closed.
