Sherlyn Chopra Complaints Against Sajid Khan

Sajid became embroiled in the #MeToo scandal in 2018 after nine female colleagues in the entertainment industry who had collaborated with him on various projects accused the director of abusing them sexually. Along with Sherlyn, other actresses who have accused him include Saloni Chopra, Aahana Kumra, and Mandana Karimi.

Sherlyn Chopra talked to ANI about the entire situation and why it took her years to come out. Sherlyn Chopra has already filed a police complaint against the director at the Juhu police station in Mumbai.

“I have recently filed a complaint against #MeToo accused Sajid Khan in Juhu Police Station for sexual exploitation, criminal force and criminal intimidation," the actress reportedly said. When the police first questioned her about the incident, she immediately responded that it took place in 2005. In addition, she explained that she had not had the bravery at the time to accuse a prominent figure like Sajid Khan of sexual exploitation when they questioned her about why it had taken her so long to contact them.

She also discussed the relevant evidence for her allegations against Sajid, claiming that even then, "I did not have any evidence against him because I do not carry a spy camera during a professional meeting with a director or producer."

Finally, Sherlyn Chopra stated that she wanted Sajid Khan to be imprisoned, much like Harvey Weinstein, who was found guilty of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and third-degree rape in February 2020. He received a 23-year prison term in a decision that was hailed by the #MeToo movement.

Meanwhile, Sajid Khan presently a contestant on the Salman Khan-hosted reality TV series Bigg Boss 16, has resigned from his directing duties for the film Houseful 4 as a result of the allegations.

Sajid's participation in the show has drawn criticism from a number of people, including singer Sona Mohapatra and actor Ali Fazal, among others, who have urged that he be fired.
