Television actress Hetal Yadav has spoken about her experience working with Tanushree Dutta in the film Apartment, describing their professional association as difficult. In an interview with IANS, Hetal shared her concerns about the actress’s conduct on set and recalled disagreements during filming. She also addressed the controversy involving Tanushree and Nana Patekar, making it clear that she could not comment on an incident she had not witnessed herself.
Tanushree Dutta has once again become a subject of entertainment news following remarks attributed to her about the reported death of veteran actor Nana Patekar. Amid the ensuing reactions, actress Hetal Yadav has revisited her experience of working with Tanushree in the psychological thriller Apartment.
Speaking to IANS, Hetal described her experience on the film as unsatisfactory and expressed reservations about Tanushree’s approach to work. Her comments concern their professional interaction during the production and represent Hetal’s personal account of what she remembers from the set.
The remarks have renewed interest in the 2010 film, which featured Tanushree in the lead role alongside Neetu Chandra and Rohit Roy.
Hetal Yadav Shares Her Experience of Working With Tanushree Dutta
Reflecting on their time working together, Hetal said that she found the experience difficult and questioned Tanushree’s professionalism.
“My experience working with Tanushree was not good. So, if you ask me honestly, I found her behaviour unprofessional,” Hetal said during the interview.
According to Hetal, there were occasions when she felt Tanushree did not adequately follow instructions on set and reacted negatively to certain directions. She also recalled disagreements involving physical contact during the filming of a romantic song.
Hetal claimed that these situations made the production process challenging for the people involved. However, her comments reflect her recollection of events, and the claims should not be treated as independently established findings.
Tanushree played the lead character in Apartment, a film that brought together several performers in a suspense-driven story. The production’s behind-the-scenes experiences have now returned to public discussion following Hetal’s interview.
Hetal Questions Tanushree Dutta’s Claims About Her Career
During the conversation, Hetal also responded to Tanushree’s reported remarks about losing work and experiencing difficulties in her acting career.
Sharing her perspective, Hetal said, “In my opinion, she was not honest about her work.”
She suggested that her own experience of working with Tanushree differed from the actress’s account of the professional challenges she had faced. Hetal also drew a comparison with actor Govinda while discussing the ups and downs of a film career.
Her comments present her personal interpretation of Tanushree’s professional journey. They do not, on their own, establish the reasons behind the actress’s career trajectory or independently verify the circumstances surrounding any lost opportunities.
Tanushree became widely known after appearing in Hindi films, including Aashiq Banaya Aapne. She later became a prominent figure in public discussions about workplace conduct in the Indian film industry.
Hetal Yadav Declines to Judge the Nana Patekar Controversy
Hetal also addressed the controversy involving Tanushree and Nana Patekar. Unlike her comments about her own experience on Apartment, she took a more cautious position when asked about the dispute.
“I don’t know what that incident was, what happened or what didn’t happen. Since I didn’t witness it myself, I don’t know the details. So, I cannot pass any judgement on it,” she said.
Her response distinguishes between events she says she experienced directly and a separate controversy about which she does not claim to have firsthand knowledge.
Tanushree previously made allegations concerning an incident involving Nana Patekar during the filming of Horn ‘OK’ Pleassss in 2008. The dispute became a significant topic in discussions about workplace harassment and accountability in India’s entertainment industry.
When reporting on such matters, it is important to distinguish allegations, personal recollections and independently verified information rather than present disputed claims as established facts.
Editor’s note: The supplied material contains a statement attributed to Tanushree about Nana Patekar’s reported death. That claim should be checked against reliable, current sources before publication. It has not been presented here as a verified event.

She has appeared in television productions, including Imlie, and is known to audiences through her work in serial dramas. Her career reflects a transition from dance and film work to regular roles in television.

What Is Apartment About?
Released in 2010, Apartment is a Hindi psychological thriller featuring Tanushree Dutta, Neetu Chandra and Rohit Roy. The film explores relationships, personal tensions and unsettling developments within an apartment setting.
The project remains a notable entry in Tanushree’s filmography, and Hetal’s interview has renewed interest in the production and the experiences of those associated with it.
While the actors’ on-screen roles form part of the film’s public record, comments about their behaviour behind the scenes should be understood in context and attributed to the individuals who make them.
Hetal Yadav’s Comments Bring Apartment Back Into Focus
Hetal Yadav’s interview has brought renewed attention to her experience on Apartment and her perspective on working with Tanushree Dutta. She described their professional association as difficult while declining to draw conclusions about a separate controversy she did not witness.
The distinction is significant: her account provides one person’s perspective on a past working relationship, rather than a definitive assessment of every aspect of the production or the people involved.
As the discussion continues, accurate attribution and careful verification remain essential to reporting on the statements and controversies surrounding the actors.
