Industry friends and Ex-Wife support Anurag Kashyap against allegation

Anurag Kashyap’s former wife, film editor Aarti Bajaj, and friends from the industry, Taapsee Pannu, Anubhav Sinha, Tisca Chopra and Surveen Chawla, have come out in support of the director after actor Payal Ghosh accused him of sexual harassment.

On Saturday, Ghosh took to Twitter, claiming that the “Gangs of Wasseypur” director was sexually inappropriate towards her, an allegation Kashyap called “baseless”.

Ghosh, 30, tagged Prime Minister Narendra Modi in her tweet, requesting him to take action against the filmmaker.

Kashyap’s first wife Bajaj said the filmmaker was somebody who makes sure to create a safe work environment for his female co-workers.

“First wife here… You are a rockstar @anuragkashyap10. Keep empowering women as you do and the safest place you create for all of them. I see it first hand with our daughter,” Bajaj posted on Instagram.

“There is no integrity left and the world is full of losers and no brains baying for the blood of anyone who has a voice. If everybody spends that energy which they use in hating others constructively this world will be a better place,” she added.
