Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, facing sexual harassment allegations from actress Payal Ghosh, took to Twitter to give his side of the argument. He said the allegations were unsubstantiated. "[Surprised] it took so long to attempt to silence me. You [Ghosh] have dragged several women into this. All the allegations are false."
Ghosh had tweeted claiming Kashyap had assaulted her. "@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!" she said.
In his rebuttal, Kashyap said: "While accusing me, you attempted to drag my artists and the Bachchan family into this. I have married twice, and I have loved a lot, if that is my crime I accept it." He said he does not endorse such behaviour, stating that he has been among many women, be it his first wife, the second, his lovers, the actresses he worked with, or the team under him.
