Bigg Boss 16’s Sajid Khan: Is #MeToo a sham in Bollywood?
Bigg Boss 16’s Sajid Khan: Not only has #MeToo accuser Sajid Khan returned with Amitabh Bachchan’s Goodbye, but filmmaker Vikas Bahl, who was abused by sexual harassment, has also returned. It appears that Bollywood is normalising sexual abuse.
Bigg Boss 16’s Sajid Khan: Sherlyn Chopra, an actress, filed a police report against filmmaker Sajid Khan. However, it appears that #MeToo is still a farce in Bollywood. Rani Chatterjee, a Bhojpuri actress, accused Bigg Boss 16 contestant Sajid Khan of sexual harassment. She claimed that when she went to audition for Himmatwala, the filmmaker asked about her breast size. Over six women accused Sajid Khan of sexual harassment. Netizens are outraged by #MeToo accuser Sajid Khan’s appearance on the reality show.
Rani told Aajtak that Sajid asked her inappropriate questions during the Himmatwala auditions.
He asked her to show her legs and then inquired about her breast size.
“I got in touch with Sajid’s team during the Himmatwala shoot,” she explained. (They) had called and informed me that he wished to contact me directly. He later told me the meeting could be held there if you came to my house. He also told me not to bring any managers or public relations people because it wasn’t a formal meeting. I listened to him because he’s such a prominent director in Bollywood.
I went to his Juhu house and found him alone. He initially told me he was casting me for the item song ‘Dhoka Dhoka.’
He told me I would have to wear a short lehenga and requested that I show him my legs. Because I was wearing a long skirt, I had to lift it to my knees, assuming that was the procedure.”
Sherlyn Chopra has also filed a police report against filmmaker Sajid Khan. DCW chief Swati Malimal demanded his removal in a letter to FWICE. Remember Vikas Behl’s #MeToo accusation from last year? The woman who accused Vikas Behl has stated that she will not pursue the case further but will stand by her claim.
