On Wednesday, the Bombay High Court heard the defamation suit by actor Richa Chadha against Payal Ghosh and others in connection with the alleged sexual assault allegations against Anurag Kashyap, as reported by Bar and Bench. Payal is ready to apologise to Richa. She is also ready to withdraw her statement, according to Payal’s lawyer Nitin Satpute.
Payal Ghosh later tweeted, “I have nothing to do with Ms. Chada. We as women have got to stand with each other, shoulder to shoulder. I don’t want any unintentional harassment to her or me on this matter. My fight for justice is against only Mr. Kashyap & I want to focus solely on that right now. Let’s make the world see his true face”.
Payal Ghosh said in an interview that Anurag Kashyap once told her that Richa Chadha, Mahie Gill and Huma Qureshi are ‘just a call away’ when it came to giving him sexual favours. Richa Chadha as well as Anurag Kashyap have denied these allegations.
Richa Chadha had filed a defamation suit of Rs 1.1 crore against Payal Ghosh, Kamaal R Khan and a news channel for trying to speak ill of her reputation. In her plea, Richa said that “The complainant was unnecessarily trying to drag her name in the case and called Payal Ghosh’s claims false, frivolous and vexatious.”
