Tollywood actress Debolina Dutta recently opened up about a disturbing experience with a famous actor, following the dismissal of director Arindam Sheel from the Directors Guild on sexual harassment charges. Taking to social media, Debolina cryptically wrote, “Time gives all the answers. Time cannot be silenced.”
In a conversation with Indian media, Debolina recounted an incident from a trip to New York, where several Tollywood actors were present, including a superstar who is well-known in both Bengali and Hindi cinema. Debolina was accompanied by her mother, and during a gathering in the actor’s hotel room, her mother left behind a shawl.
Later that evening, the actor learned Debolinaa’s room number and called her around midnight, asking her to collect the shawl. Unaware of the actor's intentions, Debolina went to his room. Once inside, the actor, intoxicated, attempted to get close to her. The actress quickly tried to leave, but the actor blocked the door. When she insisted on leaving, he reluctantly let her go.
Debolina's revelations have shed light on the ongoing issue of harassment within the entertainment industry, calling for further accountability and action.
