A video of an interview is going viral on social media, in which the actress is seen saying that despite wearing short clothes on the set, she was not allowed to sit in the van. She was shouted at for coming just five minutes late on the set. She had to wait for the whole day without taking a single shot.

According to reports, Tanushree, who worked with Vivek in the 2005 film ‘Chocolate’, told Faridoon Shahryar about her experience and said, “One day, when I reached the set five minutes late, he shouted at me and called me unprofessional. Sometimes I used to come on the set when the lights were not even on, the set was not ready, but one day I came a little late, five minutes, exactly five minutes and he was on the set just to see if I had come or not.”

Tanushree also told how the filmmaker made her feel uncomfortable on the set. He reportedly forbade her from resting in the van or covering herself with a robe. The actress said, “Actors should rest in the van when they are not shooting. Especially, if you have given me such clothes, even if I used to sit wearing a robe, he would say, ‘No, the shot is about to come so take it off’.” He used to make me sit in front of the entire unit in a short skirt.’
