Anurag, took to his Instagram Story and shared a note which read, “A lot of people are shitting on my dear friend @amrutasubhash after my interview. This post is to inform that I took her example because I could with asking her. Such is the love and trust between us. The film in question was Choked and she did that film beautifully. Culprit here was the agency, who made demands on her behalf and once I called Amruta, she didn't know what they were asking and immediately corrected it and today she has even left the said agency.” 

Amruta reposted the Instagram Story and wrote, “I am deeply touched by this Anurag. Thank you." She also shared the same in her Instagram post and captioned it as, “Thank you @anuragkashyap10 This gesture has touched me deeply. I chose my friends very wisely. I am lucky to have you as my friend.”
