On Saturday, Ghosh accused Kashyap of sexual harassment. She said: "Five years ago I met Anurag Kashyap regarding work. He called me to his house. When I went there, he took me to a separate room and tried to sexually assault me. He forced himself on me."
"I request the authorities to kindly take action and let the country see the demon behind this creative guy. I am aware that it can harm me and my security is at risk. I am seeking action against him," she added.
Post the allegations, Kashyap responded on Twitter in which he denied the allegations, claiming that they were "baseless."
"I neither behave like this nor do I ever tolerate this at any price," he said.
