After Tanushree Dutta - Nana Patekar controversy, the wave of #MeToo movement seems to be taking strides in India. A number of women from all walks of life have come out on social media and shared their very own #MeToo stories. This has led to some shocking revelations and names of some least expected celebs from the B-Town have also cropped up for alleged sexual harassment, misconduct and rape. After Rajat Kapur, Vikas Bahl, Alok Nath and others, another famous name to join the list of alleged predators is that of director Sajid Khan.
On Thursday, actress Saloni Chopra and a journalist had accused Sajid Khan of harassing them. Now, Ungli fame actress Rachel White too has accused the filmmaker of sexual misconduct and shared her ordeal on Twitter. Rachel commented on Saloni's tweet writing, "I believe you @redheadchopra.." and went on to share what she had to go through in a series of tweets thereafter.
Rachel recalls that she was sent by her agency to meet Sajid Khan during Humshakals and that she got a call within 5 minutes of her having being informed about the meeting, she got a call from Sajid who told her that the meeting would take place at his Juhu house.
Here's what Rachel shared in a thread of tweets:
"I was in a white vest and blue denims and still felt I was standing nude with that gaze. What happens next is that he finishes his cardio and walks up to me asking me about my boobs and making that kind of conversation. I didn’t bother to answer to anything. After that he asks me to strip for him bcoz there were scenes in a bikini and he needed to see how I looked. I replied saying “there are pics of me in bikinis sent to u,I think that should good for u” n wen he insisted I said “I’m ready to parade ur office in a binkini nt at home. Finally he goes "listen no one has a problem with these things" (and obviously names people) and that if I could seduce him in 5 mins the role was mine. How this ended was me saying that I didn't come mentally prepared for this and I left his house!"

As of now, Sajid Khan has not responded to any of the allegations made against him.
Not just Sajid Khan, veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai too has been accused of sexual harassment and rape by an anonymous woman. Day by day, more and more women are sharing their ordeal on social media, calling out the predators and giving momentum to the wave of #MeToo movement in India.
