Kaala heroine Huma Qureshi comes in support of Anurag Kashyap!
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,September 22 2020]
Last week, actress Payal Ghosh shocked the whole industry by making an accusation against director - actor Anurag Kashyap of sexually misbehaving with her, and the director who denied her claims, has filed a case against her.
Yesterday, actress and Anurag Kashyap's ex wife Kalki Koechlin had issued a statement supporting Anurag Kashyap, and many actresses like Taapsee Pannu have supported him. Now, Kaala fame Huma Qureshi who has worked in movies like Gangs of Wasseypur with Anurag has posted a statement supporting him, after her name was mentioned by Payal.
Huma posted a note which read Anurag and I last worked together in 2012-13 and he is a dear friend and an extremely talented director. In my personal experience and to my knowledge he has neither misbehaved with me or anyone else. However anyone who claims to be abused must report it to authorities, the police and the judiciary. I chose not to comment till now because I don't believe in social media fights and media trials. I feel really angry at being dragged into this mess. I feel angry not just for myself but also every woman whose years of hardwork and struggle gets reduced to such baseless conjecture and allegations at their workplace. Please let's refrain from this narrative. It's the joint responsibility of women and men to carefully protect the sanctity of #MeToo. This is my final response. Please do not approach me to make any more statements on this matter.
