Entire Bollywood has been divided ever since the drugs angle came in Sushant Singh Rajput's case. Now, another controversy has erupted after actress Payal Ghosh accused Anurag Kashyap of sexually harassing her and filed a police complaint him.
The majority of Bollywood actresses came in support of Anurag Kashyap and narrated how they feel secure when they shoot for Anurag Kashyap. Now, another actress has narrated her sense of security with Anurag Kashyap. Sacred Games actress Elnaaz Norouzi took to her Instagram profile and narrated how Anurag Kashyap made her feel comfortable when she was not ready to shoot an intimate scene in the web series.
Elnaaz wrote, "I remember I was ready to leave #SacredGames 2 because of a particular Sex scene that I wasn’t comfortable with doing. After much back and forth with the the production house and my team , @anuragkashyap10 sir messaged me and said : “Listen don’t worry I’ll figure it out, just trust me.”
I had only shot one day with him for season 1 by then and I wasn’t familiar enough with him to know if I can trust him or no but I just agreed.
The day we had to shoot that scene came and I had anxiety the entire time... I knew , now that I am on set they’ll somehow make me do the scene and I won’t be able to say no because I was already told that The Script won’t be changed... I had a feeling I’d have to do the scene even if I didn’t really want to... I was called on set and Anurag sir started briefing me as to how he will shoot it keeping in mind, what I had told him I’m not comfortable doing. I felt like crying , I felt like crying because I didn’t expect him to actually keep my concern in mind.. I didn’t expect him to actually shoot it in a way that I would be comfortable with...i didn’t expect him to make sure we shoot the scene with me keeping my clothes on even though it was written otherwise ... I felt like crying because he proved me wrong and kept his word!
And once we shot the scene, I did cry in my vanity and I sent him a long message thanking him for being the kind of MAN that he is... we need more men/humans/directors like him in #Bollywood... hell not just Bollywood , but in the entire world! Thank you for allowing me to trust again and making me feel heard and safe on your Set."
However, it is quite obvious that a person's behaviour is different with everyone and supporting Anurag Kashyap is a matter of choice. But the actresses must know that due to their good experience they cannot dismiss other women who felt degraded by him.
