Mumbai: Actor Payal Ghosh, who has accused filmmaker Anurag Kashyap of sexual misconduct, took to her Instagram handle on Thursday and expressed fear for her safety.
Payal said that when she gave an interview regarding the incident to a leading news portal, the latter sought permission from the filmmaker for publishing it.
The actress further stated that she may soon be found hanging, but it won’t be suicide. However, people would be ready to declare that she was depressed and on medication, she added.
“I have given an interview regarding the entire episode on Mr. Kashyap to a renowned portal and the next thing I get to know that they are seeking permission from Mr. Kashyap himself. India, if I am found hanging from the ceiling, remember this. I didn’t commit suicide. They have the narrative ready of depression and medication. #NotGoingDown #metoo,” wrote Payal on Instgram.
