In his recent tweets, Bollywood director Anurag Kashyap has responded to actor Payal Ghosh and her accusations of sexual harassment against him.
Denying the allegations he wrote in Hindi, “Wow. It took you so long in the attempt to silence me. It’s ok. In the attempt to silence me, you dragged several other women despite being a woman yourself. Be a little modest madam. I will just say that all your allegations are baseless.”
His next tweet read, “In the process of accusing me you tried to drag my artists and the Bachcan family but failed. Madam, I have been married twice, if that is a crime, then I accept it and have loved a lot, I accept that too. Whether it was my first wife or the second, or any other lover, or the many actresses I have worked with,or that team of girls and women who has always been working with me, or the many women who I met in private or in public.”
“I neither behave like this nor do I ever tolerate this any price. Whatever happens we shall see. It is visible in your video, how much is true, how much of it isn’t, all you have to do is pray and love. Apologies for answering your English in Hindi,” read Kashyap’s last tweet.
Notably, Ghosh on Saturday accused Kashyap on Twitter saying he forced himself on her. She tweeted, “@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!”
The matter also captured the attention of the Chairperson of National Commission for Women Rekha Sharma who asked Ghosh to make a formal complaint.
