    On September 19, she claimed that the director forced himself upon her when she was seeking a film job in 2014. While Kashyap has denied the allegations and labelled it as ‘baseless’, Ghosh has hit back to claim that those doubting her intentions are wrong. So who is Payal Ghosh? Here are a few things to know about her … Image Credit: IANS

    But it was in September 2017 when she courted Bollywood movie fans with her romantic comedy ‘Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi’, also starring comedian Vir Das. In an earlier interview, she claimed that she was drawn to the script as she found the movie hilarious. The film also featured late actor Rishi Kapoor and Paresh Rawal. Image Credit: IMDB

    In an interview with IANS, Ghosh claims that it took her two years to muster the courage to speak up against the sexual misconduct as her friends and family advised her not to talk about the sordid incident. “Imagine, someone removing one’s clothes in front of you all of a sudden. I was very young at that moment. I didn’t know what to do. When I shared it with my friends, they asked me to file a police complaint, but I avoided,” Ghosh stated in the interview. Why didn’t she speak up when the #MeToo movement gathered momentum in India a while back? “My family, my brother, manager and other people from the industry — all of them asked me to stay quiet if I wanted a career in this industry. ‘Your career will get ruined’, ‘no one will work with you’ were some of the things they said to me,” the actress said.
