Payal, who is known for her role in the 2017 film 'Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi', took to Twitter on Saturday and accused of Anurag Kashyap in the #MeToo movement. She alleged that the filmmaker "forced himself upon her".
"Anurag Kashyap has forced himself on me and extremely badly. PMO India, Narendra Modi, kindly take action and let the country see the demon behind this creative guy. I am aware that it can harm me and my security is at risk. Pls help," she tweeted.
Anurag Kashyap, however, denied the allegations, claiming that they were "baseless". He also released a statement denying the #MeToo accusations levied against him, terming it "completely false, malicious and dishonest".
