Taapsee Pannu, Anubhav Sinha, Tisca Chopra Vouch For Anurag Kashyap, Speak The Against Misuse Of Me Too Movement
Bollywood Celebs Take A Stand for Anurag Kashyap
Updated : September 20, 2020 03:34 PM ISTFilmmaker Anurag Kashyap has been accused by actress Payal Ghosh for forcing himself on her in new Me Too allegation that came to light while the actress spoke to a new channel about the experience. In a rather shocking turn of events for Anurag, the Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi actress claimed she was sexually harassed by the filmmaker at his residence after a few meetings.
Bollywood is already plagued with sufficient controversies at this hour and the allegation certainly adds to the troubles already mounting in the industry. Actress Kangana Ranaut was quick to react to the claims of Payal Ghosh and demanded that the Gangs of Wasseypur filmmaker be arrested.
Other Bollywood folks including Taapsee Pannu, Surveen Chawla, Tisca Chopra, Anubhav Sinha who are close friends of the filmmaker vehemently discredited such rumours calling the filmmaker ‘the biggest feminist’ and his film sets being the safest place for women.
Anubhav called for the responsible use of the platform called Me Too by both men and women after the allegation came to light and wrote, “It is a very very very important movement that should not be misused for any other reason but the dignity of women.”

Taapsee who made several post defending Anurag said that the filmmaker is the ‘biggest feminist’ she knows and also responded to a user who wrote that the filmmaker’s sets are the safest saying, “he becomes the wind beneath your wings.”

This power of calling out n being heard has come to us after years of struggle n suppression. But with great power comes greater responsibility. Misusing it , will send us years back into being ignored n over run. https://t.co/wvXmz68bok
