Anurag Kashyap's "Apology" Following Outrage: "No Action Is Worth Your Daughter" April 19, 2025 — Mumbai, India
After receiving a lot of criticism for remarks he made in a recent interview that, according to critics, trivialized the difficulties of balancing family and professional life, particularly when it comes to safety and personal sacrifice, the acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Kashyap issued a public apology on social media this week. The controversy erupted after Kashyap appeared on a popular podcast, where he discussed the struggles artists face in pursuing their careers. While talking about the pressures of the film industry, Kashyap said, “If you believe in your art, you sacrifice everything for it — even time with your family. Be it so if your daughter is a part of the cost. The remark sparked outrage across social media, with many accusing the filmmaker of promoting a toxic, self-centered view of success at the cost of loved ones.
