According to leading Bollywood actor and director Anurag Kashyap, people have a misconception about him that he consumes ganja. Recently in an interview he said that he is allergic to all these. He also recalled a story when a fan at a film festival offered him a cigarette pack filled with marijuana as a gift.

In an interview, Anurag said, “Ever since I made the films ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ and ‘Raman Raghav’, people think that I am a psychopath. At first people were afraid to even meet me, but when they meet me they get overwhelmed because I am beyond their imagination. Many people think that I consume ganja. I am often trolled, people call me a drug addict, but they don’t know that I am allergic to it. “Even if I smell someone smoking around me, I get an asthma attack.”

Once at the Toronto International Film Festival, a fan came to him with a special gift. Recalling the incident, Anurag said, “I was in Toronto for a festival and someone came to me and said, I have brought a nice gift for you. She had a bag wrapped in flowers and I could smell them from a distance, because I am allergic to them. When I opened the bag, there was ganja in it.

Anurag asked the fan to immediately take the marijuana away from there, “Take this marijuana away from me, take this smell away. Then I had to take antihistamines right there. These misconceptions people have are very bad, but unfortunately I can’t change it.

In this interview, Anurag talked about many health problems that arose during the Corona period. After one of his projects was shelved, he fell into depression due to business difficulties and later suffered two heart attacks. Anurag told that due to this he was forced to take steroids, as a result of which his weight increased a lot.
