Actor Rajshri Deshpande on Tuesday wrote an open letter to Payal Ghosh, who has accused filmmaker Anurag Kashyap of sexual harassment, saying if the director is in the wrong he will be punished as per system but peddling lies in the garb of #MeToo will cause the movement to "crumble".
On Saturday, Ghosh took to Twitter, claiming that Kashyap was sexually inappropriate towards her, an allegation the "Gangs of Wasseypur" director called "baseless".
Deshpande, who has worked with Kashyap in "Sacred Games" and "Choked", wrote in a series of tweets that she wants to understand and listen to Ghosh's voice.
"We all know that MeToo started across the globe to give voice to each of us from different backgrounds. I think we need such movements for each suppressed voice in the world.
"If Anurag has done something wrong then we have a system to take action for it but if the acquisitions are false then MeToo mass movement will start crumbling and will lose its aim," she tweeted.

Taking to Twitter, Huma wrote, "Anurag and I last worked together in 2012-13 and he is a dear friend and an extremely talented director. In my personal experience and to my knowledge he has neither misbehaved with me or anyone else. However, anyone who claims to be abused must report it to the authorities , the police and the judiciary."
She continued, "I chose not to comment till now because I don’t believe in social media fights and media trials. I feel really angry at being dragged into this mess. I feel angry not just for myself but also every woman whose years of hard work and struggle gets reduced to such baseless conjecture and allegations in their workplace. Please let’s refrain from this narrative. It is the joint responsibility of women and men both to carefully protect the sanctity of #MeToo. This is my final response. Please do not approach me to make any more statements on this matter."

Statement from Payal Ghosh's lawyer
Payal Ghosh's lawyer Nitin Satpute on Monday said that the FIR could not be filed due to the absence of a female officer. Payal was uncomfortable telling the entire incident to the male officer. Therefore they will go to the Oshiwara police station tomorrow afternoon. Not only this, but the lawyer even said that they will also file a case under NCW. If jurisdiction arrives in Versova, then it will be decided tomorrow also. The case will be filed under section 354.
