Payal Ghosh's accusations 

Actor Payal Ghosh accused Bollywood Director Anurag Kashyap of sexually assaulting her. She opened up about her experience with the Director she said she first met him in 2014 at his office with her manager.

“When I felt uncomfortable, he told me you do not have to feel shy because my girls do it all the time. They are just a call away, they have a good time with me. He proudly took names of the women he has been with and spoke about his relationships with me even though he barely knew me. That revealed how much he disrespected women," said Payal Ghosh. 

She initially took to Twitter to accuse Anurag Kashyap of sexual abuse on Saturday. Following this, the director denied it and called the allegations 'baseless'. However, the National Commission for Women (NCW) chairperson Rekha Sharma responded to her tweet and asked her to register a complaint against the director. While speaking to Republic TV, Payal Ghosh said that she will be filing a complaint with the NCW through an Email immediately.
