New Delhi: After late actress Jiah Khan’s sister accused filmmaker Sajid Khan of sexual harassment in a BBC documentary ‘Death in Bollywood’, model-actress Sherlyn Chopra has also levelled serious allegations against the director.
Sherlyn Chopra took to Twitter and wrote: When I had met him in April 2005, a few days after my father’s demise, he had taken his penis out of his pants and had asked me to feel it. I remember having told him that I know how a penis feels like & that the purpose of my meeting with him was not to feel or rate his penis..
She added: “He has the ‘superstars’ of Bollywood to vouch for his ‘character’. It’s my word against theirs. The Bollywood mafia is a strong syndicate.”

It’s my word against theirs.

“It’s not an accusation but the disclosure of a fact. Our phone records of the past may be checked regarding the same. After flashing his penis, he had not only asked me to touch it & feel it but also asked me if I had ever seen a penis as well endowed as his..”
Filmmaker Sajid Khan was called out in 2018 MeToo movement when one of his assistants named Saloni Chopra accused him of sexual harassment. Saloni, in her Facebook post, described the horrifying account of how she was allegedly harassed by the filmmaker while they worked together.
Amid these allegations, Sajid stepped down as the director of ‘Housefull 4’ starring Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Bobby Deol, Sharad Kelkar, Pooja Hegde, Kriti Kharbanda and Kriti Sanon.
