This comes a day after Payal had a meeting with National Commission for Women Chairperson Rekha Sharma on Tuesday. The NCW took suo motu cognisance of her allegation and asked her to file a formal complaint.
"Met up with Shri G Krishan Reddy who is the MOS of@AmitShahji at @HMOIndia and also the minister of state of home ministry and had a very fruitful and forwarded conversation on the issue. It's an issue faced by many and now is the time to act," Ghosh wrote on Instagram.
Before meeting with Reddy, the actress tweeted: "I am heading to @HMOIndia to meet the officials. It's a fight to the end and no fake agenda can deter me. Bring it on."
On September 20, Ghosh alleged that Anurag Kashyap had forced himself upon her. On October 1, Kashyap was questioned by Versova police in the alleged sexual assault case.

Ghosh had earlier threatened to sit on a hunger strike if the entire case was not taken up fairly by Mumbai Police. She had reportedly filed two complaints against the filmmaker. While one was filed with the Mumbai Police over charges of harassment; the other was filed with NCB, wherein she had asked the anti-narcotics agency to look into the drug angle related to Kashyap.
Meanwhile, Bollywood actress Richa Chadha filed a defamation suit before the Bombay High Court against Payal Ghosh and others for making derogatory statements against her. Ghosh, while accusing Anurag Kashyap of sexual misconduct, had dragged Chadha and two other actresses into the controversy. According to a report in Bar and Bench, Payal told the Bombay HC that she is ready to tender an apology and withdraw her statement. Advocate Nitin Satpute, appearing for Ghosh, told Justice AK Menon that his client is ready to settle the matter.
However,Payal has denied the reports that she is willing to apologise to Richa Chadha. The 'Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi' actress said that she didn't give any wrong statement about anyone and only said what Anurag Kashyap allegedly told her.
On Monday, Payal submitted a letter to Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh seeking Y-level security for her lawyer and herself.
