On Friday, B-town’s popular director Sajid Khan has stepped down as the director of Housefull 4 as his name came into the light of #Metoo movement. The director has been accused of sexual harassment by two women- assistant director Saloni Chopra and a journalist.
I finally decided to share my story with you. Writing this was like re-living all that horrible past I’d chosen to let go of, but I knew if I don’t today, I may never. So here’s #metoo #MetooIndia https://t.co/brouTYIBC7
