Payal Ghosh Clarifies Why She Named Huma Qureshi, Mahie Gill, Richa Chadha In MeToo Charge Against Anurag Kashyap

Actress Payal Ghosh has been facing a lot of criticism within the film industry for naming Huma Qureshi, Mahie Gill, and Richa Chadha in the MeToo allegations against the filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. However, the actress has now clarified that her intention was not to defame anyone. ## Speaking to IANS, Payal Ghosh explained that she said only what, Anurag Kashyap told her when he tried to sexually harass her in 2014. ## "I have said what Anurag said to me, whether it was a good thing or bad. I have also shared the good stuff like when he said he is a big fan of Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan), and now he talks to him for work. This is a very big achievement, and it inspires me as well", Payal told IANS.## "He also told me that he is in constant touch with filmmaker Karan Johar. I have also shared the good things he told me about other people. It is not like I am sharing only the negative", she added.## Late last week, Payal claimed that Anurag tried to molest her in 2014. She said that in order to convince her, Anurag said that "all the actresses he has worked with are just a call away". Now she said that the filmmaker does not respect women and only pretends himself as a flagbearer of women empowerment. ## "He acts like a flagbearer of women empowerment, women liberation, and feminism. What kind of a person he is when he says such things about his actress friends after meeting me for just two days? Does he respect women like this?", she added. ## "I didn't take their names. Unke saath mera lena dena nahi hai (I have nothing to do with them). I don't even know them, why would I take their name? I shared what Anurag said to me as it is, to let people know what kind of a person he is. That is the whole point of me talking about it", she explained.## While talking about the actresses she named, Payal claims she didn't take their names to defame them as she doesn't even know them.## "It is a possibility that Anurag lied to me to convince me, or he might be saying the truth. I don't know. I am not even saying that, I am just mentioning what he said to me, not that they did it or didn't do it. I don't have any personal grudge against them, I don't know them or have met them, so why would I say anything against them?", she stated.## Richa Chadda and Huma Qureshi have decided to take legal action against Payal Ghosh for defaming their reputation. On this, Payal said, "I will handle it because I haven't said anything against them. I again say that I have shared what Anurag told me".## Stay tuned...
