Standing in for the defence of Bollywood industry against the allegations of a drug cartel involved, the filmmaker said that he knows people who, at their weakest point, have experimented.

Anurag claims that during the shoot of Queen, the actress drank champagne in order to be free spirited and no one on the set ever judged her or even pressurised her to drink. He also complimented her saying, “She is a phenomenal actor. She needed to let go of her inhibitions and champagne helped her do that.”

“I’ve seen her do things when she was low on confidence. And, I’ve seen it with my own eyes. When she got out of it, she reinvented herself after that. But, she can’t say that somebody forced it on her. I don’t know what happened before but when I have seen all those elements, I’ve not seen anybody force anything on her.”, said Anurag. He also added, “People make their own choices. People make choices in their down moments. People don’t know. Yes, one thing is there that when you go around in this industry and you meet somebody. The first time, when I did something, she said, ‘This will make you feel good.’ But, if somebody says that it will make you feel good and you’ve tried it. After that, it’s your own choice.”
