New Delhi (Sputnik): Indian actress Tanushree Dutta, a veteran of many bold Bollywood movies, has announced on her Instagram page that Harvard University in Massachusetts has extended an invitation to her to speak at a conference on 16 February 2019. This event is being organised by the graduate students of Harvard Business School and the Harvard Kennedy School.
The beauty queen spearheaded the #MeToo movement in October 2018, when she opened up again about her sexual harassment accusation against actor Nana Patekar, which she alleges happened during the 2008 film ‘Horn OK Please'. Following her lead, many actresses and other women went public with stories alleging sexual harassment in the workplace.
