Television actress Hetal Yadav has spoken about her experience working with Tanushree Dutta in the film Apartment, describing their time on set as difficult. In an interview with IANS, Hetal alleged that Tanushree did not always follow instructions comfortably and expressed disagreement with aspects of the filming process.
Her comments have renewed attention around the actress, whose name has remained associated with public discussions about her film career and her allegations involving actor Nana Patekar. However, Hetal also clarified that she did not personally witness the incident involving Tanushree and Nana, and therefore could not offer a judgment about what happened.
Hetal Yadav Says Her Experience With Tanushree Dutta Was Difficult
Recalling her time working with Tanushree, Hetal said her experience on the sets of Apartment was not positive. She described the actress’s behaviour as unprofessional, making clear that this was her personal assessment of their professional interaction.
According to Hetal, there were occasions when Tanushree appeared unhappy with instructions given during filming. She also recalled disagreements surrounding certain scenes, including a romantic song that involved physical contact.
Hetal suggested that these differences made the production process challenging for the people involved. However, her remarks reflect her account of the experience and should not be treated as an independently established assessment of Tanushree’s conduct.
Released in 2010, Apartment featured Tanushree Dutta alongside Neetu Chandra and Rohit Roy. The film was among the projects in which Tanushree appeared before becoming less visible in mainstream Hindi cinema.
Hetal Yadav Comments on Tanushree Dutta’s Career
During the interview, Hetal also responded to Tanushree’s past comments about her career and the opportunities she believes she lost.
Hetal said she disagreed with Tanushree’s account, expressing the view that the actress had not been sufficiently committed to her work. She also drew a comparison with Govinda while discussing how an actor’s career can change over time.
These remarks represent Hetal’s personal opinion rather than a definitive explanation of Tanushree’s career trajectory. An actor’s professional journey can be influenced by several factors, including the projects offered to them, personal decisions, industry circumstances and the availability of suitable roles.
Tanushree, who rose to prominence after appearing in films such as Aashiq Banaya Aapne, has previously spoken publicly about her experiences in the film industry. Her career and public statements have continued to attract attention even during periods when she has not been regularly appearing in films.
Hetal Yadav Responds to the Tanushree Dutta–Nana Patekar Controversy
Hetal was also asked about the controversy involving Tanushree Dutta and Nana Patekar. Rather than taking a position, she said she did not know the full details because she had not witnessed the incident herself.
Her response drew a distinction between her own experience of working with Tanushree and an allegation involving other people.
The controversy dates back to Tanushree’s allegations concerning an incident during the filming of Horn ‘OK’ Pleassss in 2008. The allegations became a prominent part of public discussion surrounding workplace conduct and harassment in the Indian film industry.
Nana Patekar has denied allegations of sexual harassment. Any account of the dispute should distinguish between allegations, responses from the parties involved and facts established through reliable reporting or legal proceedings.
Editorial note: The supplied report also refers to remarks attributed to Tanushree about Nana Patekar’s alleged death. That claim requires independent verification from reliable news sources before publication. Do not repeat a death claim as fact unless it has been confirmed by credible sources.
Who Is Hetal Yadav?
Hetal Yadav began her career as a background dancer in Hindi films before moving into acting. Over time, she built a career in television, appearing in a range of serials and becoming familiar to viewers through her screen roles.

In her latest comments, Hetal has shared her perspective on an earlier film-production experience. Her account has brought renewed attention to Apartment and to the different recollections and opinions surrounding Tanushree Dutta’s professional journey.
As with any public dispute, the claims made by individuals should be understood in context, with clear attribution and a distinction between personal opinion and verified fact.
