In a shocking development on Saturday, actor Payal Ghosh has leveled charges against Bollywood Director Anurag Kashyap that he had allegedly forced himself on her. In an interview with news channel ABN Telugu, the actress recounted the incident claiming that Kashyap allegedly told her that ‘she should not think of denying a big star like him’, as it would allegedly ‘benefit her in the future’. The actress also alleged that Kashyap had threatened her to stay quiet about the incident, reminding her of ‘acid attacks’ on women.

She also tagged Prime Minister Narendra Modi in her tweet and urged him to ‘take action’, adding that her ‘security is at risk’
