With #MeToo movement tide taking over Bollywood, skeletons are coming out of the closet with each passing day. After scores of women shared horrifying experiences of sexual misconduct and molestation at the hands of Bollywood celebrities like Rajat Kapoor, Piyush Mishra, Kailash Kher, Alok Nath, Vikas Bahl and Subhash Ghai, filmmaker Sajid Khan is the latest to come in the line of fire for his indecent behaviour. Three women - actresses Saloni Chopra and Rachel White and journalist Karishma Upadhyay - took to social media to call out the director for his unwarranted advances and molestation. He has been accused of inappropriate behaviour, ranging from pulling his p***s out during interactions to asking actresses to strip for him. After reading the shocking allegations against the filmmaker, Akshay Kumar, who is working with Sajid in Housefull 4, released a statement in which he announced that he has requested the producers of the film to cancel the shoot until the allegations against Sajid are investigated. A few minutes after Akshay decided to stall the shooting of the film, Sajid took to social media to release a statement stating that he is stepping down as the director of Housefull 4 till the time he can allay the allegations and prove the truth. https://twitter.com/SimplySajidK/status/1050643527661584384 "In the wake of the allegations against me and the pressure being put on me and my family, the producers and stars of my film Housefull 4, I must take the moral responsibility of stepping down from my directorial post," Sajid wrote. Incidentally, Housefull 4 also stars Nana Patekar, who has been accused of sexual harassment by Tanushree Dutta.
