In the recent news, Anurag Kashyap got wrapped up in the charges of allegedly sexually harassing Payal Ghosh seven years ago. In addition, names like Huma Qureshi and Richa Chadha were also dragged in the matter of casting couch. It was claimed Kashyap told Payal that two actresses also got work from him in return of sexual favours. However, this fetched a strong reaction from both of them. Richa sent a legal notice to Payal and Huma took a jibe at it by calling it a ‘baseless conjecture’. For the same, Saqib Saleem shared his thoughts while speaking with Bollywood Hungama.
Saqib Saleem Reacts to Payal Ghosh’s statement About Huma Qureshi:
Saqib said, “Does it feel bad when someone says wrong things about your sister? 100%. My sister is my life, my pride. If someone said anything about her, it will feel very bad.” He also talked about being fearful that ‘anyone can say anything’ about someone. “But what can I do? As a brother I am saying, what can I do? Who should I fight? What should I say? Now I have told myself I just don’t want to be a part of this outside world. Twitter and all are irrelevant. If can keep my sister, my parents happy in real life, I am happy,” he added.
Huma also shared that currently she is avoiding to comment on the issue as she didn’t want to get trapped by social media fights and media trials. She said, “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.” She further added, “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.”
