In 2018, in the wake of the #MeToo movement, three women, including an actor, assistant director and a journalist, allegedly accused Sajid Khan of sexual harassment. Last September, model Dimple Paul levelled sexual misconduct charges against him. Now, late actor Jiah Khan’s sister Karishma has revealed how the Humshakals (2014) director harassed her and Jiah. She narrated her ordeal in the new BBC documentary, Death in Bollywood. The three-part series revolves around the death of Jiah in 2013.
Karishma has alleged that during the shooting of his directorial venture Housefull (2010), starring Jiah, he asked the late actor to “strip” during the script-reading session. “She came home and cried. She didn’t know what to do. She said that the filming hasn’t even begun, and this is happening. ‘I have a contract, so if I leave, they can sue me and slander my name. If I stay, then I am sexually harassed.’ It was a lose-lose situation.” Karishma also claims that Sajid made advances at her. She said that she was barely 16, and had accompanied Jiah to Sajid’s house. “I was wearing a strappy top and he was sort of staring and said, ‘Oh, she wants sex’. Jiah immediately jumped to my defence and we left,” said Karishma, but the incident left her “scarred and traumatised.”
