1/ i've known @anuragkashyap72 since 1996. he was always rebellious. he was always outspoken. he was always passionate about cinema and his friendships. he had a point of view and i often disagreed with it. that did not change our relationship. in 24 years nothing has changed.

Thapsi Pannu described the director as the greatest feminist she has ever seen. Radhika Apte also supported Anurag. Radhika Apte said that Kashyap is a director who treats the women he works with equally and with respect.
2/ i take accusations of sexual harassment seriously and when i heard this young woman accuse anurag i was extremely disturbed. he is a friend, like a younger sibling and somebody who has been with me through some rough times. he can be brash. he can be stupid.

Hansel Mehta shared on Twitter that the allegations against Kashyap were fabricated. Mehta tweeted that it was an attempt to silence the artist who was openly commenting. He also asks where the practice of constantly attacking dissidents will take us.

Mehta said he knew Anurag Kashyap would not do such a thing. He has known Anurag Kashyap since 1996. He is a man who does not hesitate to speak openly. He is a man of sincerity in friendship and cinema. He can be called rude and irrational. But never a sexual abuser.

Payal Ghosh alleges that Anurag Kashyap tried to sexually exploit her. Payal Ghosh made the allegation while tagging Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Twitter. Kangana Ranaut also came out in support of Payal Ghosh. Recently, there was a big verbal spat between Anurag Kashyap and Kangana Ranaut on Twitter.
Anurag Kashyap’s response is that Payal Ghosh’s allegation is only a way to silence him. She has worked with a large group of women. She has collaborated with many actresses so far. He also said that he has treated all the women he has met so far with love and respect, alone and in public.
