Actress Richa Chadha filed a defamation lawsuit on Monday in Bombay High Court against an actor, who had accused filmmaker Anurag Kashyap of sexual misconduct, as well as film critic Kamaal R Khan, a news channel and others.
A single court of Judge Anil K Menon was hearing Chadha’s request, filed through lead attorney Veerendra Tulzapurkar and defender Saveena Bedi Sachar, who also sought monetary compensation from the actor.
However, as no one appeared for the actor and others, the court asked Chadha to deliver a new personal notice to respondents along with a service via email. Seeking an affidavit of notification from Chadha before October 6, the court postponed the case until October 7.
The actor had alleged that Kashyap had “forced” himself on her when she met him for work. He also claimed that Kashyap had mentioned to him that other actors such as Chadha, Huma Qureshi and Mahie Gill had granted him sexual favors so that he could take the films.
