Roopa Ganguly:“I Believe Payal Ghosh”

Bengal’s firebrand actress, politician, activist  Roopa Ganguly has pitched her might with MeToo accuser  starlet Payal Ghosh who  created a  furore this week  by accusing filmmaker Anurag Kashyap  of unbecoming  conduct.

Says Roopa, “It takes  a  lot of courage  for  any girl to  speak  about such an experience. I completely believe  Payal  Ghosh. No  girl would  put her life and self-respect on line  just to get  publicity.Her words sound true to me.”

Roopa  is  a vocal  opponent of Bollywood’s lately-acquired reputation for debauchery. “It’s time to  clean  out the filth in the Hindi  film industry. Women are being  propositioned and insulted. Drug-intake is  rampant. It’s not just one Payal . There are so  many victims of  the  excesses  of Bollywood. It’s time to  clean  out  the  filth.”
