Sajid Khan accused of harassment by an Indian model; she said: Asked me to strip for getting a role in Housefull

Actor-filmmaker Sajid Khan is back in the news as he has been accused with fresh sexual misconduct charges. A model has claimed that Sajid Khan tried to touch her inappropriately and also asked her to strip before him. The hashtag #ArrestSajidKhan started trending on Twitter following the latest MeToo claim against Khan. The allegations have been posted on an unverified Instagram account of Dimple Paul, with the handle paulaa__official. "When #MeToo movement started, a lot of people spoke about Sajid Khan but I did not dare to because like every other actor who has no godfather and had to earn for a family I kept quiet. Now I don't have my parents with me. I'm earning for myself. I can dare to tell that I have been harassed by Sajid Khan at the age of 17," she stated. She went on to narrate the incident, saying it happened during an audition. "He spoke dirty to me. He tried to touch me. He even told me to strip in front of him just to get a role in his upcoming Housefull movie," she shared. Concluding her post, Dimple added: "God knows with how many girls he has done this. I am coming out now not for any pity party. It's just that I realised that had affected me so bad when I was a child and chose not to speak. But it's high time no? These B**t*rds should be behind bars not only for casting couch but also for manipulating and for stealing away your dreams. But I did not stop!! But the wrong I did was not to speak about it!" While posting the note, Dimple put a caption: "Before democracy dies and there is no freedom of speech anymore I thought I should speak!" Earlier in 2018, multiple women had come out to share their #MeToo experiences against Sajid Khan, following which he stepped down as director of ‘Housefull 4’.

Model Dimple Paul penned a note in which she stated that she was abused by Sajid Khan.
