  "account": "Indian cinema mourns the passing of veteran actor Nana Patekar, but not all reactions have been sympathetic. Fellow actress Tanushree Dutta called him \"evil dead\" following news of his death, with her remark meeting controversy from the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA). Tanushree later reaffirmed her stance, stating that he remains \"evil dead\" for her, regardless of circumstances. She explained that her troubled experience following the #MeToo movement, coupled with the pressures and threats she faced, led her to this conclusion. AICWA criticized Tanushree's comments as insensitive and shameless, urging her to reconsider her words during such a sensitive time.",
