Payal Ghosh refuses to apologize to Richa Chadha

In a startling twist to the  Richa Chadha versus Payal Ghosh defamation case, Ghosh has left her lawyer red-faced and helpless by refusing to apologise to Chadha.

Ghosh has tweeted her refusal to apologise, stating,  “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."

The battle started when Ghosh dragged Chadha’s name in her allegations of sexual misconduct against filmmaker Anurag Kashyap.

Chadha responded with a defamation case.

On  Wednesday, Ghosh’s lawyer put out a statement saying she was ready to apologize to Chadha unconditionally.

This is perhaps the first time that a client in a celebrated case has gone public against her lawyer's statement. It would be interesting to see if Ghosh’s lawyer would continue or quit the case, and where this case would lead to now. If Chadha pursues the case to its legal conclusion it would be very hard for Ghosh to justify her slanderous statement against Chadha in her video accusing Anurag Kashyap of vile behavior.
