Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, known for his outspoken nature and bold cinema, is now facing the heat over a casteist remark made against the Brahmin community. After days of growing outrage, legal complaints, and threats to his family, Kashyap has issued a heartfelt apology — admitting he went too far.

“I Forgot My Limits… I Hurt People Close to Me”

In a detailed Instagram post, the Gangs of Wasseypur director acknowledged that he made sweeping derogatory comments in a moment of anger and lost control of his words.

“I forgot my limits while replying to someone in anger. I spoke badly about the entire Brahmin community — a community that has many people who have supported and contributed to my life. I hurt them, and I hurt my own family,” Kashyap wrote.

Apology After Public Pressure

The apology comes after intense criticism on social media and calls for accountability from public figures, including lyricist Manoj Muntashir Shukla. Kashyap’s earlier sarcastic tone while addressing the controversy only fueled the fire.

This time, however, his tone was different — more reflective and remorseful.

“I deviated from the actual issue and used the wrong words while responding to a cheap comment. I sincerely apologize to the community, to my friends, my family, and to all those I hurt. I will work on my anger, and next time, choose my words carefully,” he added.

Reactions: Divided Public Opinion

As expected, the internet remains divided.

Some users slammed the director, saying “apologies don’t undo deliberate insults,” while others appreciated his acknowledgment and willingness to self-correct: “Owning up takes courage. We hope you stand by your word.”

What Triggered the Uproar?

Anurag Kashyap had made a controversial comment against the Brahmin community while reacting to a social media post. His initial defense was unapologetic — claiming that his message was right, even if his words weren’t. But with growing backlash, legal pressure, and public outrage, he has now taken a more conciliatory route.

The controversy brings into focus how public figures must weigh their words carefully — especially in a climate where outrage spreads fast, and apologies come late. Whether this apology heals the wounds or reignites the debate remains to be seen.
