As Filmmaker Sajid Khan entered the house of Bigg Boss 16, someone quoted, ‘India lost its #MeToo battle’ and that’s what the world agreed to.
Even after so many accusations and revelations, Bigg Boss makers are still keeping their silence over the matter.
Recalling the time of her suffering, actress Aahana Kumra had once revealed Sajid asked her bizarre questions.

It was the darkest doom of 2018 for Sajid Khan when actresses Saloni Chopra and Aahana Kumra came out to accuse him of sexual harassment.
It was that year and straight to 2022, after four years, Sajid is back in the limelight for all good-bad reasons. The Lipstick Under My Burkha actress Aahana during the Me Too movement had opened up on her horrifying encounter with Sajid. As with all other incidents, she was called by the Housefull filmmaker at his home and the tale began.

Aahana in conversation with ETimes had recalled that even though Sajid didn’t touch her, he asked her inappropriate questions. “I had a meeting with Sajid Khan about a year ago, knowing the fact that he is a shady guy. I met him and he did the same thing that Saloni (Chopra) has written about him. Same drill — you go to his house, and you are escorted to his room which is pretty dark. He makes you watch what he’s watching,” she said.

Aahana had also confronted him that her mother was a policewoman.
“But he still asked me bizarre questions like, ‘Would you have s*x with a dog if I gave you Rs 100 crores’? He didn’t touch me. I guess he was trying to give me gyaan on how I need to be a dumbf*** or laugh at his sexist jokes if I wanted to be a mainstream heroine in his films. He implied that I think too much and that I am too vocal about what I think. Hence, I am not mainstream actress material,” Aahana Kumra then said.

That year, after several cases of sexual harassment, were made against him, he had to step down as the director of Housefull 4 and Farhad Samji then replaced him. Recently when the makers stopped airing Sajid’s visuals in 24*7 LIVE streaming, it was reported that he’ll be shown doors. But all seems blue to date as the makers seem to enjoy controversy and keep the alleged accused for their TRPs.
