“I have wanted to talk about this for a long time. But today, finally, I thought I should get it out of my head, ”said the ‘Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi’ actress in an exclusive chat with ETimes. Have you seen or read something about Anurag in the last few hours that bothered you? Payal said: “None of that. In fact, I had tweeted about my incident some time ago when the MeToo movement happened, but many people told me to delete the tweet, otherwise I would stop getting a job. My manager also recommended that I delete the tweet. tweet. I did. Post that, Anurag blocked me on WhatsApp. ”
Payal, who is staying in Mumbai, says he did not tell his parents before accusing Anurag in a video because they would not have allowed him to do so. “After the video went viral, they called me and scolded me,” he revealed.
So the story in sequence, according to Payal, says that she and Anurag were Facebook friends and the unpleasant incident she faced happened on her third encounter with Anurag at his residence on Yari Road. “The first time I met her was at her office in Aram Nagar, Versova. The second time I met her was at her residence. We talked in general about movies and the film industry. Then she called me again at home and this time,. that is, on the third occasion, she tried to impose herself on me. I did not raise the alarm, but I begged her to let me go since I would return another time, “said Payal.
And so? Payal replied, “After that, he texted me several times asking me to come over. But I didn’t go,” adding: “We had decided to meet, yes. And it was me who wanted to meet Anurag. Actors and actresses have to meet with the filmmakers to get to know them. It’s bound to get jobs. Otherwise, how would the filmmakers know about us? ”
Do you have evidence to support your accusation against Anurag? Payal says, “No, I don’t have any of his text messages as it’s been quite a while and I’ve changed more than one phone since then. I also hadn’t recorded what happened at his house (at the third meeting).”
“Going back to what makes me come out, I just want the girls to be cautious,” Payal said emphatically, adding that so far she has had no other bad experiences in the industry.
Kangana Ranaut has come out to support her and Payal offers her thanksgiving. “I agree with Kangana on some things that I have on the horizon and in which I have had experiences in my profession.”
Payal, who says she has a Southern and Hindi film on her current kitty, has also received support from the National Commission for Women, whose president Rekha Sharma has asked her to file a detailed complaint. “I will send a detailed complaint to Rekha Sharma, soon,” Payal concluded.
Meanwhile, Anurag has posted 4 tweets denying Payal’s accusation. We reproduce those tweets below:
