The #MeToo movement in Bollywood is not dying a slow death and victims are busy gaining the courage to come out and speak publicly. Many prominent names including Nana Patekar, Subhash Ghai, Sajid Khan, Vikas Bahl and Alok Nath were highlighted in this ugly controversy and they had to pay a heavy price for it. While Vikas Bahl's name was dropped from the credits of his next directorial, Super 30, Sajid Khan, decided to exit Housefull 4 as its director. Many B-town actresses including Bipasha Basu and Vidya Balan had shared their experiences of working with Khan and they were totally unpleasant. However, Tamannaah Bhatia begs to differ. #MeToo Movement: Sajid Khan Gets 1 Year Suspension From the Indian Film and Television Directors’ Association.
The actress in her recent interaction with Deccan Chronicle was asked about her working experience with Sajid Khan. The Baahubali fame actress has previously worked with Sajid in Himmatwala remake and Humshakals. And while one may assume her to reveal some bitter experience, she was, in fact, all praises for him. "For me, it has always been about the script and what's the kind of film that I am working on. When I worked with Sajid, unfortunately, none of our films did well. He never treated me in any bad way and I was completely comfortable working with him", she said. #MeToo Movement: Lara Dutta Had Told Me Sajid Khan Was Rude, Vulgar to Her Housefull Co-Star, Says Mahesh Bhupathi.
However, the actress respects her contemporaries and their bad experiences. "Everyone has a different experience and everybody is entitled to their own opinion and experience. If Vidya has had a bad experience, it's normal for her to react like that," she said when asked about Vidya's comment on Sajid.
