Anurag Kashyap Accused of Sexual Harassment By Actor Payal Ghosh
On Saturday, Payal Ghosh took it to Twitter and wrote that the ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ director was sexually inappropriate towards her. On Sunday, Anurag Kashyap said that the sexual harassment allegations leveled against him by Payal are baseless. Payal tagged Prime Minister Narendra Modi in her tweet, requesting him to take action against Kashyap.
She wrote
@anuragkashyap72 has forced himself on me and extremely badly. @PMOIndia @narendramodi ji, kindly take action and let the country see the demon behind this creative guy. I am aware that it can harm me and my security is at risk. Pls help! https://t.co/1q6BYsZpyx

The actor also claimed that Kashyap boasted about his connection with megastar Amitabh Bachchan and claimed that there were other female artistes who he got intimate with.
In a series of Twitter posts in Hindi, Kashyap dismissed the allegations, calling it an attempt to silence him. He has been vocal against the criticism and vilification of Bollywood by celebrities and trolls.
Kashyap tweeted, ‘Such a long time was taken to shut me up, never mind. (But) while shutting me up, you lied so much that you dragged other women also in it. Please maintain some dignity madam. All I will say is that all your allegations are baseless.’
Ghosh found support in National Commission for Women, with its chairperson Rekha Sharma assuring the actor that the NCW will take cognizance of the case.
Tapsee Pannu has come out in support of Anurag Kashyap, claiming he is a good man. Instead of hearing out Payal Bollywood folk are questioning her motives. And wondering why he came out with these allegations so late. Since she said it happened in 2014-2015. Do you think #MeToo type movement will ever succeed in Bollywood? Do you think Tapsee Pannu is a hypocrite?
