Kanwar's comments will tarnish my image, says Tanushree

May 17, 2007 IANS

Mumbai, May 17 (IANS) Tanushree Dutta has sent a letter to the producer of "Raqueeb" warning him to clarify the false statements he gave to the media about her to promote the film, which is releasing Friday.

Raj Kanwar told the media that Tanushree is playing a nymphomaniac in the movie. He also told some newspapers that she has done some bold bedroom and kissing scenes.

In the letter sent Tuesday, the actress has said: "I am deeply hurt to write to you that the misleading and absolutely false statements given by you in all leading newspapers are surely going to tarnish my image in the film industry.

"You are fully aware that I have not performed any such scenes for your film which can in any manner whatsoever be considered as a bold scene, a hot bedroom scene, or a kissing scene. I therefore fail to understand, as to why are you giving such false statements and seeking to promote your film on the basis of such falsehood," the letter stated.

"I am therefore forced to believe that you may have probably without my knowledge, shot some scenes with a body double or with look alike and on the basis of such scenes I feel that you may be trying to promote your film. Do note that I am forced to think like this only because of the specific quotes given by you in the newspapers," Tanushree added.

She has also said that in case Kanwar fails to give a clarification in the newspapers and arrange for a trial show, she will seek legal recourse.
