'India, If I Am Found Hanging From The Ceiling, Remember This, I Didn't Commit Suicide': Payal Ghosh

Ever since actress Payal Ghosh has accused filmmaker, Anurag Kashyap of sexual harassment, she has become the headline of every news channel. She has also filed an FIR against the filmmaker. However, the filmmaker has called all such allegations baseless and many actresses like Taapsee Pannu, Kalki Koechlin, and others supported Anurag in the matter. ## Now, the actress has made a bold statement regarding this ongoing matter. She has claimed that she had given an interview to a 'renowned portal' regarding the whole matter with the filmmaker, but the portal was seeking Anurag Kashyap's approval. The actress even appealed that if she was found hanging from the ceiling, people shouldn't consider it as suicide. ## "I have given an interview regarding the entire episode on Mr. Kashyap to a renowned portal and the next thing I get to know that they are seeking permission from Mr. Kashyap himself. India, if I am found hanging from the ceiling, remember this. I didn't commit suicide. #MeToo", Payal tweeted. ## They have the narrative ready of depression and medication. #NotGoingDown #metoo https://t.co/bCfw2MOfsk— Payal Ghosh (@iampayalghosh) September 23, 2020 ## Last week, Payal Ghosh had leveled serious allegations against Anurag Kashyap and had said that the filmmaker has forced himself on her and tried to molest her in 2014. She also urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take strict action against him who, as claimed by her, doesn't respect women and pretends himself as a flagbearer of women empowerment.## Stay tuned...

Marvel's Black Widow, Eternals Among Several Other Disney's Movies Postpone Release Dates

While the coronavirus pandemic still widening, Disney has further pushed the release dates of some of its major movies including Marvel's "Black Widow" and "Eternals", Steven Spielberg's "West Side Story" and Kenneth Branagh's "Death on the Nile" by several months. ## As per the domestic reports, the announcement of the postponement of several movies is bad news for the exhibition industry, which is already facing fierce headwinds after closing for months due to coronavirus. The analysts have already projected that domestic grosses would decline between 70% to 80% due to the pandemic, as stated by Variety. ## Moving back to movies pushed further, "Black Widow" starring Scarlett Johansson, was set to debut on 6 November this year, a date that started to look increasingly unlikely as movie theaters on the coasts remained closed.## Since the disappointing performance of Christopher Nolan's "Tenet" in the U.S. and the delay of "Wonder Woman 1984", Marvel was eyeing a new date to unveil the film on the big screen, and now, the superhero film will release on 7th of May in 2021. ## "Eternals" - a comic book adventure about a super-powered alien race was previously dated for 12 February 2021, will now debut on 5th of November 2021. Directed by Chloé Zhao, the movie stars Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden, Gemma Chan and Kumail Nanjiani.## Kenneth Branagh's "Death on the Nile" - will bow on 18 December 2020, vacating its original 23 October premiere. "Death on the Nile" - a murder mystery based on Agatha Christie's novel, appeals to an older moviegoers, a demographic that might be hesitant to return to indoor spaces during the pandemic.## Disney has also pushed the release dates of several other movies which have been slated to release in 2020 and 2021. ## Stay tuned...

Payal Ghosh Clarifies Why She Named Huma Qureshi, Mahie Gill, Richa Chadha In MeToo Charge Against Anurag Kashyap

Actress Payal Ghosh has been facing a lot of criticism within the film industry for naming Huma Qureshi, Mahie Gill, and Richa Chadha in the MeToo allegations against the filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. However, the actress has now clarified that her intention was not to defame anyone. ## Speaking to IANS, Payal Ghosh explained that she said only what, Anurag Kashyap told her when he tried to sexually harass her in 2014. ## "I have said what Anurag said to me, whether it was a good thing or bad. I have also shared the good stuff like when he said he is a big fan of Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan), and now he talks to him for work. This is a very big achievement, and it inspires me as well", Payal told IANS.## "He also told me that he is in constant touch with filmmaker Karan Johar. I have also shared the good things he told me about other people. It is not like I am sharing only the negative", she added.## Late last week, Payal claimed that Anurag tried to molest her in 2014. She said that in order to convince her, Anurag said that "all the actresses he has worked with are just a call away". Now she said that the filmmaker does not respect women and only pretends himself as a flagbearer of women empowerment. ## "He acts like a flagbearer of women empowerment, women liberation, and feminism. What kind of a person he is when he says such things about his actress friends after meeting me for just two days? Does he respect women like this?", she added. ## "I didn't take their names. Unke saath mera lena dena nahi hai (I have nothing to do with them). I don't even know them, why would I take their name? I shared what Anurag said to me as it is, to let people know what kind of a person he is. That is the whole point of me talking about it", she explained.## While talking about the actresses she named, Payal claims she didn't take their names to defame them as she doesn't even know them.## "It is a possibility that Anurag lied to me to convince me, or he might be saying the truth. I don't know. I am not even saying that, I am just mentioning what he said to me, not that they did it or didn't do it. I don't have any personal grudge against them, I don't know them or have met them, so why would I say anything against them?", she stated.## Richa Chadda and Huma Qureshi have decided to take legal action against Payal Ghosh for defaming their reputation. On this, Payal said, "I will handle it because I haven't said anything against them. I again say that I have shared what Anurag told me".## Stay tuned...
