Anurag Kashyap's lawyer Priyanka Khimani on Sunday has released an official statement on his behalf which has been shared by the director on his Twitter handle.

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who has been accused by actor Payal Ghosh of sexual harassment, on Sunday said the claim is "baseless" amid a larger counter against his accuser. Now, Kashyap's lawyer Priyanka Khimani has released an official statement on his behalf which has been shared by the director on his Twitter handle. Priyanka Khimani has stated that her client has been deeply pained by the false allegations of sexual misconduct that have recently surfaced against him.

"My client, Anurag Kashyap, has been deeply pained by the false allegations of sexual misconduct that have recently surfaced against him. These allegations are completely false, malicious and dishonest. It is sad that the social media movement as important as the #meetoo movement has been co-opted by vested interests and reduced to a mere tool for character assassination," the statement reads.
