‘He Told Me To Strip’ Model Paula Accuses Sajid Khan Of Sexual Harassment

In 2018, the #MeToo movement took India India by storm and many women came forward to tell their stories. Three women including a journalist had also accused Sajid Khan of sexual harassment and now, model Paula has also accused him of harassing her under the pretext of casting her in his film Housefull.

Paula wrote, “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 (sic).”

“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. God knows with how many girls he has done this. I am coming out now not for ant 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 Bastards 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!” She further added.

The #MeToo movement certainly opened a can of worms.
