The #MeToo movement in Bollywood has once again gained momentum, some time ago an actress accused movie director Sajid Khan of molesting her and now actress Payal Ghosh has leveled some serious se*ual harassment allegations against director Anurag Kashyap.
Anurag Kashyap has made many good movies but there are many who have started hating him for various reasons, such as support for JNU, anti-CAA protests and his stand against Modi government on various occasions.
Actress Payal Ghosh stated that Anurag Kashyap misbehaved with her in 2014 and she wanted to speak on this matter earlier. However every time, she was forced to remain quiet by her family and friends as this would have had an adverse effect on her career.
@anuragkashyap72 has forced himself on me and extremely badly. @PMOIndia @narendramodi ji, kindly take action and let the country see the demon behind this creative guy. I am aware that it can harm me and my security is at risk. Pls help! https://t.co/1q6BYsZpyx

Soon Anurag also reacted and called all the allegations baseless. He also questioned the timing of leveling the allegations and termed it as an attempt to make him silent.
क्या बात है , इतना समय ले लिया मुझे चुप करवाने की कोशिश में । चलो कोई नहीं ।मुझे चुप कराते कराते इतना झूठ बोल गए की औरत होते हुए दूसरी औरतों को भी संग घसीट लिया। थोड़ी तो मर्यादा रखिए मैडम। बस यही कहूँगा की जो भी आरोप हैं आपके सब बेबुनियाद हैं ।१/४

While actress Kangana Ranaut demanded arrest of Anurag Kashyap, there were few Bollywood celebs who came out in support of the director such as Taapsee Pannu, Anubhav Sinha, Surveen Chawla, etc.
Taapsee Pannu:
For you, my friend , are the biggest feminist I know.
See you on the sets soon of yet another piece of art that shows how powerful and significant women are in the world you create 🙂 🤗 https://t.co/M9AgMDHTPH— taapsee pannu (@taapsee) September 20, 2020
Surveen Chawla:
Let them creep
Let them crawl
U my friend
As always stand tall
These false flag bearers of feminism….
Opportunism???
They dont honour men like u,
For their lack of knowledge in knowing know who u really are,
And claims they make,that are just so bizarre!@anuragkashyap72— Surveen (@SurveenChawla) September 20, 2020
Anubhav Sinha:
It is the joint responsibility of women and men both to carefully protect the sanctity of #Metooindia
It is a very very very important movement that should not be misused for any other reason but the dignity of women. @anuragkashyap72— Anubhav Sinha (@anubhavsinha) September 20, 2020
Radhika Apte’s Instagram post in support of Anurag Kashyap:
Anurag’s first wife Aarti Bajaj has also lends her support to him in this matter and now actress Radhika Apte has expressed her solidarity with the “Dev D” director. Radhika took to her official Instagram handle and posted a photo in which she was seen standing with Anurag and they both were standing. In the post, Radhika called Anurag her one of the closest friends who supported her and always considered her as an equal. Radhika further wrote that she would always cherish the love and respect that they have for each other, adding that she has always felt safe with him.
Here is the Instagram post:

The matter should be investigated in a proper manner as Anurag Kashyap can’t be declared innocent just because people from Bollywood are supporting him. Moreover, it will also ensure that sanctity of #MeToo movment is maintained.
People who harassed women should be punished but it should also be taken into consideration that #MeToo movement is not used for hidden agendas. What is your opinion in this connection?
