New Delhi: Actress Payal Ghosh recently opened up about the sexual harassment she encountered with director Anurag Kashyap where she alleged the filmmaker of getting naked in front of her. The actress is likely to file a complaint against the ‘Dev D’ director today as she revealed the same to ABP News. Anurag Kashyap, however, brushed off all the allegations in a series of tweets claiming that these are all ‘baseless’. Many celebrities from the industry also came out in support of the director including Taapsee Pannu, Anubhav Sinha, Tisca Chopra, and others. Recently, the ‘Gangs Of Wasseypur’ director’s second wife Kalki Koechlin also extended her support to her ex-husband saying that he has been defending the integrity of women in his personal and professional space and she has been a witness to it. The ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ actress shared a long note asking Kashyap to stay strong and keep doing the work he does. The note read, “Dear Anurag, Don’t let this social media circus get to you, you have fought for the freedom of women in your scripts, you’ve defended their integrity in your professional space as well as in your personal life. I have been witness to it, in the personal and professional space you have always seen me as your equal, you have stood up for my integrity even after our divorce, and you have supported me when I felt unsafe in a work environment even before we got together.” The ‘Dev D’ actress continued, “This strange time where everyone gets to abuse one another and make false claims without any repercussions is a dangerous and repulsive one. It is destroying families, friends, and countries. But there is a place of dignity that exists beyond this virtual blood bath, a place of paying attention to the needs of those around you, a place of being kind even when no one is looking, and I know you are very familiar with that place.” While sharing the note, she wrote, “ट्रोल्स tho ट्रॉल करेंगें”

Earlier, the director’s first wife Aarti Bajaj came out in support of him and slammed the #MeToo allegations against him saying ‘Cheapest stunt I have seen till now’.

Meanwhile, in an exclusive interview with actress Payal Ghosh, she revealed to ABP News that she knows she will not get any support from the industry while Anurag Kashyap will, as he provides bread and butter to many. Stay tuned for more updates!
