Backing Anurag after the #MeToo allegation, film editor and Anurag’s first wife Aarti Bajaj said that this is the cheapest stunt she’s ever seen.

Here’s what she wrote:

First wife here. You are a rockstar @anuragkashyap10. Keep empowering women as you do and the safest place you create for all of them. I see it first hand with our daughter. There is no integrity left and the world is full of losers and no brains baying for blood of anyone who has a voice. If everybody spends the energy which they use in hating others constructively this world will be a better place. Cheapest stunt I have seen till now. First it made me angry then I laughed so hard as it cannot come more framed then this . I am sorry that you have to go through this. That’s the level of them. You stay HIGH and keep using your voice. We love you.

In response to the support Anurag has been getting from his colleagues at the industry, Payal tweeted:
