After Taapsee Pannu, Radhika Apte, Kalki Koechlin and Aarti Bajaj, here’s someone who swear by the decency and respectability of filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who has been accused of molesting an aspiring actress.
Actress Mandana Karimi just took to her social media profile and wrote a heartfelt note, addressing her dark days, when Anurag saved her as a guardian angel.
She wrote, “Dear @anuragkashyap10 – You made me see a side of me that I could not have seen otherwise. You came as a savior when I had lost hope in people. I had left the industry thinking that there is no place in it for strong women who seek a safe and respectful working environment. And you came in like a guardian angel, you made me a part of your family, showed me the way forward. You did not give me work, you taught me how to find work through my talent and hard work”
“For some of us would be lost without art and you are someone who is fighting for that light, in a world full of darkness. I have learned the difference between a genuine man and someone who wants to take advantage of my situation and I have learned it the hard way. I was a part of the #Metoo movement and today the media is asking me to talk against you”
“Do they even know who you are? People are ready to jump to conclusions. We have no patience. We are so frustrated that we want to see other people suffer. Women are exploiting the power we fought for. In a world like this where we want our heroes behind bars, where will one find hope? I want to fight for you, I want to stand next to you in this fight but I have lost hope in people, yet again. But in you I believe and I know you will win this battle and every other challenge life throws at you because you are, the light”
Actress Payal Ghosh on Saturday accused filmmaker Anurag Kashyap of forcing himself on her six years back. She tweeted to PM Modi and urged him to take action against him.
Meanwhile, Anurag has completely denied these allegations and have called them baseless.
