Seems like #MeToo movement is not yet over for director Sajid Khan. Years after he was earlier accused of all the sexual misconduct allegations, fresh allegations have yet again been made against him.
Indian model Paula took to her Instagram account to reveal horrifying details of her meeting with Sajid Khan and recounted how she was asked to strip in front of him to get a role in Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar starrer Housefull.
On why she didn’t come forward when the #MeToo movement was at its peak in India, Paula in her lengthy Instagram post wrote, “When #MeToo movement started, a lot of people spoke about Sajid Khan but I did not dare to because like every other actor who has no godfather and had to earn for a family I kept quiet. Now I don’t have my parents with me. I’m earning for myself. I can dare to tell that I have been harassed by Sajid Khan at the age of 17.

?? Before democracy dies and there is no freedom of speech anymore I thought I should speak !
Narrating details of her experience, Paula wrote, “He spoke dirty to me. He tried to touch me. He even told me to strip in front of him just to get a role in his upcoming Housefull movie.”
She further stated that such people should be put behind bars for casting couch and for manipulating and stealing away your dreams.
For the uninitiated, the director was earlier accused by three members of the film fraternity as well as by a journalist. Sajid Khan was even asked to step down as the director of Housefull 4 post all the sexual misconduct allegations against him. While Farhad Samji replaced him in the director’s seat, Sajid was hoping for a comeback in the industry.
