Anurag Kashyap recalls the time when he spent a night in jail: ‘I slapped the wrong person, he changed my life’
Anurag Kashyap shared that he spent a night in jail after the he 'slapped the wrong person'.

Anurag Kashyap, who has been actively promoting his latest series Bad Cop, recently recalled an anecdote from the time when he spent a night in jail. The filmmaker, who has turned actor for the series, shared in an interview that he had to spend a night in the police lock up for ‘slapping the wrong person.’
In a conversation with Samay Raina on his YouTube channel, the filmmaker-turned-actor said, “Yes, I have gone to jail. I slapped the wrong person. Somebody you are not supposed to hit. I was in jail for a night. The man who put me in the lock up is the same guy who changed my life completely. He was the who brought me out.” Anurag said that the man who got him to spend a night in jail was impressed that Anurag stood for the right thing.
Though the filmmaker didn’t share the details of the incident, this came as a shocker for both his co-star Gulshan Devaiah and the interviewer.
Last year, while promoting his film Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat, the filmmaker in an episode of Unfiltered with Samdish recalled the time when he was arrested for being drunk in Saudi Arabia.
He said, “There were no flights from Denmark due to volcanic ash. I was very exhausted and I had wine and I went, took the ticket and I had to wait five hours. I went to the lounge and started drinking because I wanted to pass out. I sat in the flight and I passed out. I landed in Saudi, they arrested me because I walked on the land of Saudi totally drunk. They started questioning me.”
Apart from Bad Cop, Anurag Kashyap was also seen in the Tamil film Maharaj starring Vijay Sethupathi.
