Actress Payal Ghosh has accused Bollywood director Anurag Kashyap of sexual misconduct a few days back. However, now Anurag’s ex-wife Kalki Koechlin has come out in support of him.
In an open letter, Kalki mentioned how Anurag fought for the freedom of women in his scripts, defended her integrity in the professional space, even after their divorce, and supported her when she felt unsafe in her work environment.
Here’s what the letter stated:
Dear Anurag,
Don’t let this social media circus get to you, you have fought for the freedom of women in your scripts, you’ve defended their integrity in your professional space as well as in your personal life.
I have been witness to it, in the personal and professional space you have always seen me as your equal, you have stood up for my integrity even after our divorce, and you have supported me when I felt unsafe in a work environment even before we got together.
This strange time where everyone gets to abuse one another and make false claims without any repercussions is a dangerous and repulsive one.
It is destroying families, friends and countries. But there is a place of dignity that exists beyond this virtual blood bath, a place of paying attention to the needs of those around you, a place of being kind even when no one is looking, and I know you are very familiar with that place.
Hang on to that dignity, stay strong and keep doing the work you do.

Anurag and Kalki married in 2011, they fell in love during the shoot of Dev D . But in 2013 the couple decided to get separated. Besides Kalki, Anurag’s first wife Aarti Bajaj, also came out in support of the filmmaker.
