The MeToo Movement gained momentum once again after actress Payal Ghosh came forward to tell her story. The actress states that she faced sexual harassment from film director Anurag Kashyap in 2014.

The actress took her pleas to social media and asked support from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

The MeToo movement had been a success in India. Many women used this platform to tell their harassment stories. It took the entertainment industry by storm.

This is yet another shocking news to the entertainment industry. While the actress blamed Anurag Kashyap, he denied all the allegations. He states that all the allegations are false and baseless. 

He also stated how people are misusing such an important significant platform as a mere tool to defame others.
