Swara Bhaskar was one of the first in the industry to support Tanushree Dutta when the latter accused Nana Patekar of sexually abusing her ten years back on the sets of Horn Ok Pleassss. Swara followed Shruti Seth in tweeting her support for Tanushree and was followed by fellow actors like Farhan Akhtar, Richa Chadha, Priyanka Chopra, Parineeti Chopra Twinkle Khanna, Anurag Kashyap and Sonam Kapoor among a few others in the industry. Dutta has claimed that Patekar misbehaved with her on the sets of "Horn Ok Pleassss" in 2008 and she had spoken out about the incident but was branded "unprofessional" and "difficult to work with" at that time. Many superstars like Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan though turned a deaf ear to the allegation.
