After
actress
Payal
Ghosh
accused
filmmaker
Anurag
Kashyap
of
sexual
assault,
many
celebrities
from
the
film
industry
came
in
support
of
the
director-producer.
For
the
unversed,
Payal
tweeted
that
Anurag
allegedly
forced
himself
on
her.
She
also
tagged
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi
in
her
tweet
and
urged
him
to
'take
action',
further
adding
that
her
'security
is
at
risk'.
Among
the
various
people
who
defended
Anurag
is
late
actor
Irrfan
Khan's
son
Babil
Khan.
In
a
strongly-worded
note,
Babil
said
that
it
is
a
shame
that
the
Me
Too
movement
is
being
misused
against
a
person
who
has
been
crusading
for
'equality
in
an
excruciatingly
patriarchal
industry'.
Irrfan's
Son
Talks
About
The
Misuse
Of
The
#MeToo
Movement
Babil
Khan
shared
a
statement
on
his
Instagram
page
that
read,
"It's
a
shame
that
an
invaluable
movement
like
the
#metoo
is
misused
in
such
a
malignant
manner
against
a
person
that
has
actually
inspired
equality
in
an
excruciatingly
patriarchal
industry.
We
now
live
in
this
strange
age
where
it
is
easier
to
create
a
truth,
and
not
manifest
the
truth.
I
pray
that
we
evolve."
Irrfan's
Son
Says
Baseless
Accusations
Will
Diminish
The
Credibility
Of
The
#MeToo
Movement
He
further
added,
"The
concern
is
that
the
metastasis
of
baseless
accusations
through
the
#metoo
movement
would
ultimately
diminish
its
credibility
and
women
that
genuinely
need
its
support
would
be
left
in
the
dark,
it
is
painful."
Irrfan's
Son
Says
He
Will
Take
Responsibility
For
His
Words
If
Payal
Ghosh
Is
Right
Babil
captioned
his
post
as,
"Chin
up,
Anurag
sir.
I
know
you
all
are
gonna
hate
me
for
this
but
I've
got
to
stand
up
when
something
feels
wrong.
What
if
the
girl
is
right?
Well
then,
it
would
break
my
heart
to
see
that
someone
who
I
consider
a
great
man
was
just
a
false
conception,
I
am
hanging
on
to
my
judgement,
I
will
take
responsibility
for
my
words
if
I'm
wrong."
Meanwhile,
Anurag
Kashyap
denied
Payal
Ghosh's
allegations
and
called
them
as
"completely
fake,
malicious
and
dishonest."
On
the
other
hand,
Payal
Ghosh
lashed
out
at
those
doubting
her
claims
and
tweeted,
"People
who
are
saying
that
it's
for
politics
and
that
I
am
misusing
the
situation.
Imagine
(
god
forbid)
your
sister
or
daughter
in
my
position,
it
can
even
be
the
mother..
and
then
let's
talk.
You
would
go
to
war
against
such
men.
Isn't
it?
PERIOD!!"
