On Saturday, Payal had, in an interview, detailed her experience with Anurag, which happened around the time he was making Bombay Velvet. Anurag had later tweeted and denied all charges against him.
Ever since the interview, a lot of people spoke about the misuse of the Me Too movement. Responding to it, Payal had tweeted: “People who are saying that it’s for politics and that I am misusing the situation. Imagine ( god forbid) your sister or daughter in my position, it can even be the mother.. and then let’s talk. You would go to war against such men. Isn’t it? PERIOD!!”
She had continued, “People blame women for everything and post smash the patriarchy. It’s time to stand with the women. Let them be heard. A voice suppressed is a generation of women oppressed. It is 2020. Come on, India! #MeToo.”
Actress Kangana Ranaut and BJP leader Roopa Ganguly also came in support of the actress. Eventually after several from the film industry including the director’s ex-wife and actress Kalki Koechlin, Kaala actress Huma Qureshi and Sacred Games actress Elnaaz Norouzi came in support of Anurag Kashyap, Payal Ghosh has filed a rape case against him.
