Filmaker Anurag Kashyap has apologised to Ayesha Shroff for posting a picture of Tiger Shroff while making a point about nepotism.

“I am sorry Ayesha .. I meant it for how media chases “Taimur”. Sorry to have hurt you . Just read this ,” he tweeted in response to Ayesha’s tweet asking him to keep her son away from the discussion.

Anurag has been voicing his views over the ongoing debate on nepotism in the industry and how it tilts the insider-outsider equation in favour of those coming from film families.
