After actress Payal Ghosh accused director Anurag Kashyap of sexual misconduct, several from the film industry came forward to support him. Kashyap's ex-wife, actress Kalki Koechlin too came to his defence. Taking it to social media, Kalki Koechlin in a long Instagram post, showed support to Anurag Kashyap, asking him to 'hang on to that dignity' and not let the 'social media circus' get to him

"Dear Anurag, don't let this social media circus get to you, you have fought for the freedom of women in your scripts, you've defended their integrity in your professional space as well as in your personal life. I have been witness to it, in the personal and professional space you have always seen me as your equal, you have stood up for my integrity even after our divorce, and you have supported me when I felt unsafe in a work environment even before we got together," wrote Kalki, who was married to Anurag Kashyap from 2011 to 2015.
