After Tanushree Dutta slapped a 10 Crore defamation case on Rakhi Sawant who insulted her by calling her a liar and drug addict while belittling the #MeToo movement, Rakhi has now sued Tanushree for allegedly damaging her reputation. Reportedly, she has sought 25 paise from Tanushree as compensation.
In her suit, Rakhi has claimed that Tanushree, 'upon her return to the limelight, made unwholesome and deeply derogatory statements against' her, due to which Rakhi has 'incurred huge financial losses and has suffered a dent on her reputation, which had taken years to build'.
The notice also says that Tanushree attacked Rakhi out of 'sheer jealousy as she had been getting regular work since the last two decades now, whereas due to the embarrassment of not getting adequate work as an actress, the defendant had left the country and given up on acting'.
Tanushree Dutta was replaced by Rakhi Sawant for the special song that the former was shooting for Horn Ok Pleassss.
Rakhi had earlier held a press conference, in which she accused Tanushree of raping her multiple times 12 years ago. Rakhi also claimed that Tanushree was her best friend back then and took her to rave parties where she forced her to consume drugs. After the press conference, Tanushree issued statements slamming Rakhi for her comments.
