New Delhi: The Epstein Files have caused a worldwide controversy. The documents, photos, and videos detailing the criminal activities of the late Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender, mention several perpetrators, and Bollywood filmmaker Anurag Kashyap's name is reportedly among them. This revelation has caused a sensation. Now, Anurag Kashyap himself has issued a clarification.

What is Anurag Kashyap's clarification?

While it cannot be definitively confirmed that Anurag Kashyap's name is included, it has surfaced unofficially. An email refers to him as a "Bollywood guy" and "a famous Bollywood director," stating that he was supposed to attend an Epstein-related event in Beijing in 2017.

However, in an interview with Hindustan Times, Anurag Kashyap completely denied any such allegations. He categorically denied any connection, saying, "I have no knowledge of this. I get invited to speak at events about 15 times a month. I don't even respond to most of them. And the truth is, I have never been to Beijing in my life."

He further added that the authenticity of these documents is also questionable. "It looks like a random email, which speaks for itself. Clickbait articles about me are more famous than my films."

Anurag clearly denied the allegations and put an end to the rumors. It is worth noting that Anurag Kashyap's films have received international recognition and are often screened at major film festivals around the world.

What are the Epstein Files?

Regarding the Epstein Files, the name of tech giant Bill Gates also surfaced. He too had to issue a statement expressing regret for having any contact with Epstein.

The Epstein Files controversy revolves around documents, emails, and testimonies related to the notorious American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which allegedly reveal the names of several influential and famous people. These files reveal who was in contact with Epstein or involved in his events, although not all of the allegations against those named have been verified.

So far, no Indian celebrity has been directly accused or implicated, but filmmaker Anurag Kashyap's name has surfaced in discussions on social media and in some unverified documents. Many of the names currently being discussed are based on rumors and speculation, not on any official investigation or concrete evidence.
