Actor Payal Ghosh has thanked actor Kangana Ranaut and lead actor and BJP leader Roopa Ganguly for their support. Payal has accused Bollywood director Anurag Kashyap of sexual misconduct.
Taking to Twitter, he thanked Roopa and wrote; “Thank you for your support ma’am.” The day before, she had thanked Kangana for the support of the Queen actor. She had written: “Thank you so much for your support @KanganaTeam. It’s about time and your support means a lot. We are women and together we can bring them all down. “
Kangana had previously written: “Bullywood is full of sexual predators who have fake and fictitious marriages, they hope that a new hot girl will make them happy every day, they also do the same with vulnerable young men, I have settled my accounts in my own way, no I don’t need #MeToo, but most girls do #PayalGhosh #AnuragKashyap ”
On Saturday, Payal, in an interview, detailed his experience with Anurag, which happened around the time he was making Bombay Velvet. Anurag then tweeted and denied all the charges against him. Later, a large number of Bollywood actors supported Anurag. Names include Taapsee Pannu, Tisca Chopra, Saiyami Kher, and Radhika Apte, to name a few. The director’s two ex-wives, film editor Aarti Bajaj and actor Kalki Koechlin, had come out to defend Anurag.
Also read: Saiyami Kher shares a note about Anurag Kashyap, he says that he asked her to come to his house and assured him that his parents will be there.
Payal had also named three other actors, Richa Chadha, Maahie Gill and Huma Qureshi, in his interview. Both Anurag and Richa have had the help of the law in the matter and have issued statements through their lawyers.
Since the interview, many people spoke about the misuse of the Me Too movement. In response, Payal tweeted: “People who say it is for politics and that I am misusing the situation. Imagine (God forbid) your sister or daughter in my position, it can even be the mother .. and then let’s talk. You would go to war against such men. It’s not like that? PERIOD!!”
She had continued: “People blame women for everything and then smash the patriarchy. It is time to support women. Let them be heard. A repressed voice is a generation of oppressed women. It’s 2020. Come on, India! #I also.”
