She said that ,” I kept thinking all these years @whitespeaking to talk about this a## @SimplySajidK and what stopped me was that nobody would listen. He did exactly the same with me while he was casting for Himmatwala. Called me to his juju house and asked me to strip.”
Further she says, “He was on his treadmill, wearing an undershirt. He said, ‘See, my body is so good!’ I was wondering why a man, who is supposed to be in a professional meeting, wearing sandos!

Saloni Chopra
Saloni Chopra, a popular film actress has come up with several instances pertaining to sexual as well as psychological harassment faced by her during the time she was working as an assistant director to the famous director Sajid Khan. She says, “One night, it got really ugly. I was so tired of the calls and the constant harassment, I asked him what he wanted from me. And I told him that if this was just about sex then fine, I’d come over right now and fuck him but provided he backed off afterwards and stopped calling me every day. I was so tired of his behaviour that even my fear of him wasn’t enough to shut me up.
He started yelling at me and claimed that I was so naive and stupid if I thought this was just about sex. This wasn’t about sex, it was about me being his little bitch and doing everything he told me to do. He’d name directors that keep actresses at their homes for months and thats just how this works.
