Come on, nobody made me lie so much that while being a woman, I dragged other women along. Be a little modest, madam. I will just say that all your allegations are baseless", the filmmaker further said. ## 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— Anurag Kashyap (@anuragkashyap72) September 19, 2020 ## Anurag Kashyap also urged Payal Ghosh to maintain dignity and not to trivialize the issue of sexual assault of women.
