Recalling the incident, Payal said: "First, I went to meet him in his office at Yari Road. He was talking to somebody else, and asked me to sit in front of him. He was busy talking to somebody else and that's why I left. "Next day, he called me asking me not to wear anything glamourous that would suggest that I am an actress. He said ‘wear something simple'. So, I went to meet him in salwar kameez. He cooked for me, and picked my plates as well. I left after sometime but he messaged again, asking me to come. I refused, since it was late. He even enquired about who lives with me," Payal added.
After two or three days, she says she met Kashyap again, when the alleged incident took place.

He showed me her shoes, and said ‘my wife has gone to the US. She is angry with me. I used to cook for her too, but don't cook anymore. She is angry with me'. Read full story here
