Recently, director Sajid Khan has been accused of sexual harassment by three different women. The names include actor Rachel White, assistant director Saloni Chopra and a journalist Karishma Upadhyay.
Now,Sajid Khan‘s sister, filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan has come out in open to talk about this.
She took to Twitter and wrote, “This is a heartbreaking time for my family.We have to work through some very difficult issues. If my brother has behaved in this manner he has a lot to atone for.I don’t in any way endorse this behavior and Stand in solidarity with any woman who has been hurt.”

Meanwhile, Sajid has stepped down as the director of Housefull 4 which stars Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh among others in lead roles.
