"I complained against Dibakar Banarjee"
Payal Rohatgi is not new to controversies. In an interview with International Business Times, the actress had opened up about being banned after raising her voice against sexual harassment. She had said, "I stopped getting movies when I complained against Dibakar Banarjee for taking my advantage during an audition. When I spoke against sexual misconduct, a clan of B grade producers banned me from films, and I moved to television did Bigg Boss, Survivor India, Nach Baliye. With clan of B grade producers, I mean Anurag Kashyap, Ekta Kapoor and others. Because A-listers are Dharma Productions and Yash Raj Films."
Rohatgi had also spoken about drugs and drugs abuse in the film industry. "Drugs are a part of the industry. And now as it's all-out steps will be taken. You can drink and smoke. But drugs is illegal in India. If you are found guilty, you will have to pay the price," she had said.
