"I am shocked by the kind of language Vivek has used. There are a hundred people who don't know me as a person and are sure to make wrong presumptions about me. I definitely don't deserve to go through this after being professional to the core and giving my best shot to 'Chocolate'," Tanushree was quoted as saying.
Agnihotri had earlier this week accused Tanushree of going back on her word and doing "Aashiq Banaya Apne" before the release of "Chocolate".
But Tanushree defends herself by saying: "There wasn't an agreement in writing to the effect that I should not sign any other film prior to the release of 'Chocolate'.
"Besides, it is not as if Vivek was not aware that I had signed 'Aashiq'... I definitely did not find it feasible to wait for the release of 'Chocolate' and then sign other films."
