Sajid Khan’s sister, filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan has addressed the controversy that her brother has embroiled himself in as the director has been accused of sexually harassing several women. In a fell tweet, Farah said that it is a “heartbreaking time” for her family and that Sajid will have to compensate if at all he has “behaved in this manner”.
Farah, most certainly, doesn’t “endorse this behavior” and assured support to the women who have been “hurt”. Actress Saloni Chopra accused Sajid of behaving inappropriately with her while she was working with him. Apart from Saloni, a senior journalist has also revealed that the filmmaker had “exposed himself and forcefully kissed her” during an interview.

In the meantime, Akshay Kumar, who stars in a principal role in Housefull 4, cancelled shoot that was scheduled for today so as to express support to the #MeToo movement in India. Apart from being directed by Sajid, Housefull 4 co-stars Nana Patekar, who has been accused of sexual harassment by Tanushree Dutta.
