Kasthuri had tweeted her views on the sexual harassment case filed by Payal Ghosh against director Anurag Kashyap when one of her fans asked her ' had it happened to someone close to you, will you still mention the legal view? (Sic)” To this the actress replied saying not a relative but happened with her once.This is what she wrote on Twitter, “Actress Payal Ghosh has accused Anurag Kashyap of sexual assault.

Legal view: Allegations of sexual assault without tangible or corroborative evidence are near impossible to prove . But They can ruin either one or all of the names involved. Nothing Good. A user asked Kasthuri, “If this had happened to someone close to you, will you still mention the legal view? (Sic)”

On replying to the question posed by the user, Kasthuri wrote, “What close to me, it has happened to me. It is how it is. #behindcloseddoors (Sic)”Later, Kasthuri shared her concern for the victims and wrote, “So I have complete sympathy for victims of sexual harassment. But My personal view is not law. The due process of law is designed to discourage fake allegations and must therefore stay reliant on evidence (Sic)”In Tamil, Kasthuri has been a famous host and presented quiz shows like Vina Vidai Vettai and Vina Vidai Vettai Juniors. She is emerging as a popular commentator on TV shows as well. She became more popular among the TV audience after her stint in the Bigg Boss Tamil season 3.
