In September, actor Richa Chadha filed a defamation suit against actor Payal Ghosh after the latter had mentioned her name when she accused filmmaker Anurag Kashyap of sexual assault. The hearing took place before the Bombay High Court on Wednesday, October. Payal Ghosh's lawyer Nitin Satpute told the court that his client has agreed to apologise and withdraw her statement. But, later in the day, she backtracked and stated on Twitter that she won’t apologise.
The actor took to Twitter and wrote, “I have nothing to do wd Ms. Chadda.We as women hv got 2stand wd each other, shoulder to shoulder. I don’t want any unintentional harassment to her or me on this matter. My fight 4justice is against only Mr. Kashyap &I want to 2focus solely on dt ryt now.Let's make d world c his true face.”
I am not apologizing to anyone. I have not wronged nor have I given a wrong statement about anyone. I just said what @anuragkashyap72 told me. #SorryNotSorry https://t.co/xtAJ31RnpT
