Freida Pinto is the latest celebrity to lend support to Tanushree Dutta.

The Slumdog Millionaire actor shared an Instagram post where she voiced her support for Dutta and Dr Ford in the Kavanaugh case, saying that though she doesn't know her personally, she stands by her.

She wrote: "Today, I interrupt my feed for a bit from all the fashion week poses to stand by what I truly Believe. I Believe Tanushree Dutta!"

"I don't need to know her personally, neither have been present on that horrendous day she got bullied, abused both sexually and psychologically, intimidated and shut down in order to corroborate her story. However, I do know what Truth, Hurt and Abuse sounds like. The same way millions of people in the world know that Dr. Christine Blasey Ford is NOT a Liar or an attention seeking, tantrum throwing overgrown child."

Freida also said that this might be India's Weinstein case which will break the culture of silence in their entertainment industry, adding that it will not be an easy undertaking for Dutta.

"I add my voice to the other voices coming out in support of Tanushree's bravery because God knows this is not going to be easy for you, Tanushree. But what you have done is monumental and important and it has to shake the very core of a nation and an ideology that for too long has gotten away with heinous crimes against women and where the ugliness of misogyny has dominated the rights and suppressed any voice that has dared to speak up."

To all those who question the timeline of an accuser, Freida wrote, "Also, even if someone speaks up (and in Tanushree's case - speaks up AGAIN) 10 years later, it doesn't dilute or nullify a factual, verified, double verified truth. Her story is not a carton of milk that expires after a few days, ready to be discarded. So trolls: please do what you do best but it is not going to change the Truth."

She concluded with, "I SUPPORT TANUSHREE DUTTA."

Last week, Tanushree Dutta alleged that her Horn Ok Pleassss co-star Nana Patekar sexually harassed her on the set of the film 10 years ago.

Dutta stated that during a song sequence Patekar "was grabbing me by the arms, pushing me around then he would ask the choreographers to move and teach me how to dance, and the next thing I know he wanted to do was an intimate sequence with me. It was ridiculous."

She has since gained support from Bollywood celebs.
