During the #MeToo movement in 2018, filmmaker Sajid Khan was accused of sexual harassment by three women. Now, a model named Paula has made fresh allegations on Sajid and has accused him of harassing her. Paula shared a long post on Instagram that read: “When #MeToo movement started, a lot of people spoke about Sajid Khan, but I did not dare to because like every other actor who had 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 was harassed by Sajid Khan at the age of 17.”

She captioned the post as, “Before democracy dies and there is no freedom of speech anymore, I thought I should speak.”

She further alleged that Sajid Khan had told her to strip in front of him to get a role in his movie Housefull. Paula said she did wrong by not speaking about it earlier, but has now realised that it had affected her so badly as a child that she chose not to speak. She also said such people should be behind bars for “not only casting couch but manipulating and stealing away your dreams”.
