On Saturday, Payal had, in an interview, detailed her experience with Anurag, which happened around the time he was making Bombay Velvet. Anurag had later tweeted and denied all charged against him. A host of Bollywood actors later came out in support of Anurag. Names included 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.
Payal had also named three other actors – Richa Chadha, Maahie Gill and Huma Qureshi – in her interview. Both Anurag and Richa have taken the help of law in the matter and have released statements via their lawyers.
Ever since the interview, a lot of people spoke about the misuse of Me Too movement. Responding to it, Payal had tweeted: “People who are saying that it’s 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. Isn’t it? PERIOD!!”
She had continued, “People blame women for everything and post smash the patriarchy. It’s time to stand with the women. Let them be heard. A voice suppressed is a generation of women oppressed. It’s 2020. Come on, India! #MeToo.”
