Earlier this month, filmmaker Sajid Khan made his entry into the house of Bigg Boss 16. It is safe to say that this happening has created a lot of stir in the whole entertainment world. Even after so many accusations and revelations of sexual misconduct by him, Bigg Boss makers are keeping their silence over the matter. This has made people quote how “India lost its #MeToo battle”. Out of plenty of actresses here is what actress Aahana Kumra shared about her MeToo experience against Sajid Khan.
Aahana shared that Sajid invited her to his place for an audition
During a conversation with ETimes actress Aahana Kumra shared her horrific experience with Sajid Khan. She recalled that even though Sajid Khan never touched her but he asked very bizarre and inappropriate questions. The Lipstick Under My Burkha actress revealed how the Housefull filmmaker invited her to his home for an audition and she went there despite having heard things about him. She then shared as we quote,

“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.”
Making a direct reference to Saloni Chopra’s account, Aahana highlighted how she experienced an almost similar encounter with Sajid.
“But he still asked me bizarre questions,” said Aahana
Aahana shared with the ETimes that she confronted Sajid and told him about how her mother is in the police. She added,
“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”
Adding onto the tale she further said as we quote,
“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.”
In the wake of the allegations, Sajid stepped down as the director of Housefull 4
With Saloni Chopra, Rachel White, Karishma Upadhyay, Aahana Kumra, and several other actresses’ allegations Sajid was outed as an alleged sexual predator. Therefore, on 12th October 2018, Sajid stepped down as the director of Houseful 4 in the name of “moral responsibility”. He made a tweet that said,
