SAJID KHAN QUITS HOUSEFULL 4

-

> Multiple women have come out to share their #MeToo experience­s with Bollywood director Sajid Khan.

> Sajid has been named by two actresses — Sonali Chopra and Rachel White — and one journalist for sexual misconduct.

> Sajid stepped down from his project Housefull 4, while upset by the revelation, actor Akshay Kumar on Friday cancelled his shoot until further investigat­ion.

> The accusation­s against Sajid are heartbreak­ing for the family, said his filmmaker-sister Farah Khan. Farah and her cousin actor-director Farhan Akhtar expressed disappoint­ment over Sajid’s offence.

I’ve requested the producers (of Housefull 4)... to cancel the shoot until further investigat­ion. This is something that requires stringent action.

Akshay Kumar, Bollywood star

If my brother has behaved in this manner he has a lot to atone for. I don’t in any way endorse this behaviour and stand in solidarity with any woman who has been hurt.

Farah Khan, Sajid’s sister

I cannot adequately stress how shocked, disappoint­ed and heartbroke­n I am to read the stories about Sajid’s behaviour. I don’t know how but he will have to find a way to atone for his alleged actions.

Farhan Akhtar, Sajid’s cousin
