Taapsee Pannu came out in support of her friend, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who has been accused of sexual assault. She called him the ‘biggest feminist I know’. See her Instagram post here.

Taapsee Pannu came out in support of Anurag Kashyap after an actor claimed that he ‘forced himself on (her)’. The filmmaker has denied all the allegations of sexual assault levelled against him and called it an attempt to silence him.

Anurag Kashyap directed Taapsee Pannu in Manmarziyaan.

Sharing a picture with Anurag, Taapsee wrote on Instagram, “For you, my friend, are the biggest feminist I know. See you on the sets soon of yet another piece of art that shows how powerful and significant women are in the world you create. :)” Anurag directed Taapsee in Manmarziyaan and also produced her film, Saand Ki Aankh.

Meanwhile, Anurag, in a series of tweets, denied the allegations. “Kya baat hai, itna samay le liya mujhe chup karwane ki koshish mein. Chalo koi nahin. Mujhe chup karaate karaate itna jhooth bol gaye ki aurat hote hue doosri auraton ko bhi sang ghaseet liya. Thodi toh maryada rakhiye, madam. Bas yahi kahunga ki jo bhi aarop hain aap ke sab bebuniyaad hain (Wow, it took you so long to try to silence me. Never mind. In the process of silencing me, you dragged other women in this, despite being a woman. Please have some dignity, madam. All I want to say is that every allegation is baseless),” he wrote on Twitter.

Anurag also said that whether it is with his ex-wives, any of his lovers or the women he works with, he neither indulges in nor tolerates such kind of behaviour in public or otherwise.
