राम गोपाल वर्मा ने ट्वीट के जरिए फिल्ममेकर अनुराग कश्यप को समर्थन दिया है, जो फिलहाल एक्ट्रेस पायल घोष द्वारा लगाए गए यौन उत्पीड़न के आरोपों का सामना कर रहे हैं. उनके अलावा कई बॉलीवुड सेलेब्स जैसे स्वरा भास्कर, हंसल मेहता, निखिल द्विवेदी, सुरवीन चावला, इरफान के बेटे बाबिल खान गीतकार गरिमा ओबरा, अंजना सुखानी, मराठी एक्टर सिद्धार्थ मेनन और अन्य कई अनुराग के लिए खड़े हुए हैं.
जब से पायल ने अनुराग पर आरोप लगाए हैं, तब से कश्यप को उनकी पूर्व पत्नियां आरती बजाज और कल्कि कोचलिन ने भी खुलकर अपना सपोर्ट दिया है. वहीं, एक्ट्रेस जैसे तापसी पन्नू, टिस्का चोपड़ा को भी फिल्ममेकर के समर्थन में आते हुए देखा जा सकता है. वर्मा ने अपने ट्वीट में लिखा है, "@anuragkashyap72 को जनता हूं, वो बहुत ही संवेदनशील और भावुक व्यक्ति हैं और मैंने कभी भी उनके बारे में 20 साल में किसी को भी चोट पहुंचने के बारे में नहीं देखा या न ही सुना है.. लेकिन मैं स्पष्ट रूप से अब क्या हो रहा है, यह नहीं समझ सकता."

I was articulating my own views. #AnuragKashyap sees me as pro-establishment whch I cud b or not but our political views absolutely dn't match. He is outspoken &at times out of line &unnecessarily suspcious of Govt. But these charges against him most certainly seem false & fishy https://t.co/b39I0qrbWD

This is the kind of sexist bullshit that those claiming to support a latest alleged #MeToo accusation, are propagating and espousing.. Misogyny comes in many forms.. https://t.co/6izotYKR5A

1/ i've known @anuragkashyap72 since 1996. he was always rebellious. he was always outspoken. he was always passionate about cinema and his friendships. he had a point of view and i often disagreed with it. that did not change our relationship. in 24 years nothing has changed.

2/ i take accusations of sexual harassment seriously and when i heard this young woman accuse anurag i was extremely disturbed. he is a friend, like a younger sibling and somebody who has been with me through some rough times. he can be brash. he can be stupid.

3/ but sexual harasser is something i dont want to believe about him. as I write this I'm pained, troubled and full of questions. for one the timing of leveling these accusations. then the tagging of our hon'ble PM.
— Hansal Mehta (@mehtahansal) September 20, 2020
5/ is this a witch-hunt yet again? are they trying to shut up an artist with a dissenting opinion? where are we headed? and then after hearing the accusation - can this even be anurag? it is definitely not the anurag I know. but...
— Hansal Mehta (@mehtahansal) September 20, 2020
6/ ultimately truth must prevail. lies and falsities in such a matter will be a huge disservice to many women out there who are regularly subjected to sexual harassment and abuse (something Anurag has vociferously fought against) and are unable to raise their voices.
— Hansal Mehta (@mehtahansal) September 20, 2020
9/ @anuragkashyap72 i know you don't need my support, certification or validation. i know you are a tough cookie. but I had to write this nevertheless. this is not a letter of support. this is a plea for truth and for a just outcome. before the rabid tv anchors take over...

hopefully justice will be served through the law of the land, through the courts of our country. I urge both the complainant and Anurag to approach the court and ensure justice.
