A former newspaper staffer on Thursday, accused Piyush Mishra of inappropriate behaviour during a party but the writer-director said he was probably a "few drinks down" and apologises if he made the "lady uncomfortable". 

Ketki Joshi said in a Facebook post that she met Mishra as a fan at a party where he was the main guest in 2014. He "started light flirting in front of the 20-25 people" and kept drinking throughout the party, getting progressively inebriated.
