Nana Patekar dismissed accusations of sexual harassment by actor Tanushree Dutta yesterday, stating that he is contemplating taking legal action. A day after the allegation re-emerged a decade after Dutta had first spoken out about it, Patekar told a news channel: "What can I do about what one says? You tell me. What does it mean by sexual harassment? We were on the set, and there were 200 people sitting in front of us. What can I say?"

Asked if he will take any legal action, he said: "I will see what can be legally done. It is also wrong and inappropriate to talk to you [media] since you publish anything... I will continue to do what I have been doing in my life."
