When Anurag Kashyap's fan gifted him 'drugs' in Canada during a film festival

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap once found himself entangled in an alarming incident at a film festival when a fan presented him with some marijuana that triggered a severe medical emergency. He added that he is allergic to the substance and gets ‘serious’ asthma attacks even when he is seated beside someone who is smoking it. In an interview with Flip the Script with Shubra podcast, the ace filmmaker said, 'I was in Toronto for the festival, and somebody came and said, ‘I’ve got a nice gift for you’. And because I’m allergic to it, I can smell it from a distance. I opened the bag, and he had rolled joints in it.' However, while reacting to the unexpected gift, Kashyap immediately asked his fan to take it away and took an antihistamine. Speaking about people's perception of him, he added, 'A lot of people think that I smoke up. Often, when I get trolled, people call me ‘ganjedi’ and ‘nashedi’. But I just roll my cigarettes; they don’t even know I’m allergic to it. I get serious asthma attacks even if I smell somebody smoking pot around me.' In the same podcast, he also spoke about how people consider him a 'psychopath.' 'Because I’ve made Gangs of Wasseypur and Raman Raghav, people think I’m a psychopath. People are initially very scared of meeting me. And when they meet me, they get totally overwhelmed because I’m completely opposite of their perception. I can’t change that', said the filmmaker.
