    After Accusing Anurag Kashyap Of Sexual Harassment, Payal Ghosh To Lodge An FIR Against Him

    Actress Payal Ghosh, who accused Anurag Kashyap of sexual harassment, has decided to lodge an FIR against the filmmaker. Her lawyer Nitin Satpute told ANI that they will file the complaint at Oshiwara Police Station today and are currently finishing up the paperwork. In an explosive interview, the actress alleged that Kashyap forced himself upon her during her second visit to his house and made her feel uncomfortable. In a chat with India TV she also claimed that he told her “it is okay” because other actresses he has worked with like Huma Qureshi and Mahi Gill “are just a call away”.


    The filmmaker has denied the accusations and has called all allegations against him ‘baseless’. He also slammed Payal for dragging the names of other women in this controversy in her attempts to frame him. Many Bollywood celebs such as Taapsee Pannu, Tisca Chopra and Anubhav Sinha came out in support and Taapsee even called him ‘the biggest feminist’ she knows. Kashyap’s first wife Aarti Bajaj also took to social media to pen a long note referring to the #MeToo allegations against him as the ‘cheapest stunt’ she has seen till now.

    Talking to ANI, Payal had stated, “He made me feel uncomfortable. I felt bad about it, whatever happened should not have happened. If someone approaches you for work, it does not mean the person is prepared for anything.” She also revealed that she had tweeted about the incident but had later taken the post down due to peer pressure.
