Director Anurag Kashyap is lately in the news for all the wrong reasons. Before we even forgot his tiff with Arnab, an actress named Payal Ghosh is blaming him for sexual misconduct. When Bollywood is thinking whether to support him or not, he received support from the most unexpected quarters – his ex-wife Kalki Koechlin. Let’s see what she has to tell about him.
“Dear Anurag, don’t let this 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. 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 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. Hang on to that dignity, stay strong and keep doing the work you do. Love from an ex wife”, wrote Kalki in a message posted on her Instagram and Twitter handles.
Bollywood insiders feel that Payal Ghosh’s allegations seem fishy and look like an attempt to garner attention. Let us see what is in store for Anurag who is taking on the might of BJP’s troll army.
