Actress Kalki Koechlin comes out in support of Anurag Kashyap

Actress Kalki Koechlin has come out in support of her former husband, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who has been accused by budding actress PayalGhosh of sexual harassment. Kalki penned an open letter stating that the filmmaker has fought for freedom of women in his scripts, and defended their integrity in professional and personal spaces.

She posted the letter on Instagram on Monday morning, stating that Kashyap has always seen her as an equal and stood up for her integrity even after their divorce.

"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," Kalki wrote.

"I have been a 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," she added.

Kalki felt this is a dangerous time. "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," she wrote.

Kalki asked Kashyap to stay strong and keep doing the work he does. She concluded: "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 familiar with that place. Hang on to that dignity, stay strong and keep doing the work you do. Love from an ex wife." (IANS)
