Actress Payal Ghosh had recently accused Anurag Kashyap of sexual harassment. The actress had taken to her Twitter and claimed that the filmmaker had forced himself on her. While Anurag did react to these allegations and called them baseless, Payal is still furious over the course of action as she said that Anurag is chilling at home while she is being grilled.
Payal took to her Twitter and wrote, “I have put down a case against a culprit who even others are convicting of similar acts and I am the one who is grilled and questioned. While the alleged and the guilty is chilling at his home. Will I get justice sir @natendramodi @PMOIndia @AmitShah #MeToo (sic).”

Meanwhile, Anurag had put out an official statement that called Payal’s allegations baseless and malicious. It read, “My client, Anurag Kashyap, has been deeply pained by the false allegations of sexual misconduct that have recently surfaced against him. These allegations are completely false, malicious and dishonest. It is sad that a social movement as important as the #metoo movement has been co-opted by vested interests and reduced to a mere tool for character assassination. Fictitious allegations of this nature seriously undermine the movement and seek to unconscionably trade upon the pain and trauma of actual victims of sexual harassment and abuse. My client has been advised about his rights and remedies in law and intends to pursue them to the fullest extent – Priyanka Khimani (sic).”
