Indian Public Figures Named in Epstein Files Amid Clarifications and Denials

Recent releases of the Epstein Files, a vast collection of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, have named several Indian and Indian-origin figures including filmmakers Anurag Kashyap, Mira Nair, and Nandita Das, as well as wellness author Deepak Chopra. These mentions largely involve social or professional contexts without allegations of wrongdoing. Kashyap has denied any connection, calling the references speculative and unrelated to abusive activity. Legal experts emphasize that appearing in the files does not imply criminal involvement.
