I never behave in the way accused: Anurag Kashyap reacts on Payal Ghosh’s #MeToo allegation

Actress Payal Ghosh recently claimed that filmmaker Anurag Kashyap tried to force himself upon her. Taking to Twitter, Payal wrote, “@anuragkashyap7 has forced himself on me and extremely badly. @PMOIndia @narendramodi ji kindly take action and let the country see the demon behind this creative guy. I am aware that it can harm me and my security is at risk. Pls help!”

Anurag has now responded to the allegations, while also taking a jibe at Kangana Ranaut. Anurag started his thread of tweets by accusing a woman (most likely Kangana) of dragging other women (Payal Ghosh) with her. In a long Twitter thread posted in Hindi, Anurag wrote, “Wow, you tried to silence me since for so long. No problem. While silencing me, you kept on lying so much that others got involved in the lie too. Keep some dignity, madam. All I want to say is that all the allegations against me are baseless.”

His next tweet read, “In the process of accusing me, you tried to drag my artistes and the Bachchan family but failed. Madam I have been married twice, if that’s my crime then I accept it, and have loved a lot, I accept that too.”

He concluded, “Whether it was my first wife or the second, or any other lover, or the many actresses I have worked with, or that team of girls and women who has always been working with me, or the many women who I met in private or in public… I never behave in the way accused, nor endorse it… Let’s see what happens further.”
