He wrote in his tweet, “Wow, it took 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.

Madam I have been married twice, if that's my crime then I accept it, and have loved a lot, I accept that too.

Whatever happens we shall see. One can see in your video how much of it is truth and how much of it isn't. Blessings and love to you. Apologies for answering your English with my hindi.” https://twitter.com/anuragkashyap72/status/1307396146386489349 On the professional front, Taapsee will be next seen starring in ‘Rashmi Rocket’, ‘Shabaash Mithu’, ‘Looop Lapeta’ and ‘Haseen Dillruba’.
