Actress Payal Ghosh recently named Huma Qureshi and two other Bollywood actresses in a recent interview, alleging that these actresses provided sexual favours to Anurag Kashyap. A shocked and infuriated Huma then released a statement saying, "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."

The statement 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 us refrain from this narrative."
