A few days ago, actress Payal Ghosh had leveled allegations of sexual misconduct against filmmaker Anurag Kashyap and had tweeted that he tried to force himself on her. Anurag Kashyap denied these allegations, calling them baseless. Several actresses such as Taapsee Pannu, Kalki Koechlin and others backed Anurag Kashyap, and showed their support to him. Payal Ghosh reportedly filed a complaint against Anurag Kashyap and now she revealed she gave an interview regarding the entire episode on Anurag Kashyap.
However, in her post, Payal Ghosh wrote that while she gave the interview to a ‘renowned portal’, she later found out that they were seeking permission from Anurag Kashyap himself. She then wrote that if she is ever found hanging from the ceiling, people shouldn’t write it off as suicide. She said that they have the narrative of depression and medication ready. She then used a hashtag, stating that she is ‘not going down’.
Sharing a picture of herself, Payal Ghosh wrote, “I have given an interview regarding the entire episode on Mr. Kashyap to a renowned portal and the next thing I get to know that they are seeking permission from Mr. Kashyap himself. India, if I am found hanging from the ceiling, remember this. I didn't commit suicide. They have the narrative ready of depression and medication. #NotGoingDown #metoo.” Take a look:
Meanwhile, Anurag Kashyap’s lawyer Priyanka Khimani issued an official statement on his behalf after Payal Ghosh accused him of sexual misconduct. “My client, Anurag Kashyap, has been deeply pained by the false allegations of sexual misconduct that have recently surfaced against him. These allegations are completely false, malicious and dishonest,” it read.
