Her first tweet mentioned how, barring the rape issue, she had shared what had happened between Anurag and her with Irfan. “I have definitely not talked about mr. kashyap raped me but I shared everything with @IrfanPathan about the conversations including (xyz) alas!! he is keeping mum inspite of knowing everything and once he claimed to be my good friend.”

She then went on to say what happened in 2014.

The actor in September had, in an interview, accused Anurag of sexual misconduct at workplace. Later, that month, she filed an FIR against the filmmaker, accusing him of rape, a charge he vehemently denies. However, the actor was dragged to court, in another associated case. In the course of her said interview, she had named three Bollywood actors - Richa Chadha, Huma Qureshi and Mahie Gill, and claimed Anurag told her that they traded sexual favours in return of work. Richa filed a case against her and got an unconditional apology from the actor.
