#MeToo movement has taken over the Bollywood industry and one of the most affected person is filmmaker Sajid Khan. As women started telling their #metoo tales, their came out several sexual harassment allegations against Sajid. After Saloni Chopra , Simran Suri, Rachel White and Karishma Upadhyay, now comes actress Priyanka Bose accusing him of sexual misconduct. In an interview with Missmalini.com, she described how Sajid called her for an audition saying that she should be comfortable in a bikini and the further ordeal that she experienced at the audition.
The Guzaarish actress explained, "He walked in and lay down on the sofa. Over his trousers, he held his dick in his hand and said, “If I don’t get a hard-on looking at you, how will my audience?” I cried on my way home. I still can’t remember how I got out of there. It was all too foggy.”
The allegations made on him by other women made him step down as the director of Housefull 4. On the other hand, Federation of Western Cine India Employees (FWCIE) on Monday said if Sajid Khan,does not respond to their notices, the organisation will move a non-cooperation notice against them. We approached our mother body FWICE as we were not satisfied with Alok's (Nath) answer and as Sajid Khan has not answered, the federation has issued a second notice. If they don't respond a non-cooperation (notice) will be issued against them," FWCIE head BN Tiwari told PTI. After several allegations against the director, it has to be seen what the case turns out to be.
