Bollywood’s #MeToo movement has gained momentum after Tanushree Dutta accused Nana Patekar of sexual assault. Since then, many survivors have spoken out and named their alleged harassers on Twitter.
The latest in the line is film director Sajid Khan who is well known for his film Housefull. According to a report by Hindustan Times, three women have come forward and accused him of sexual harassment.
Actor Saloni Chopra opened about the incident in detail on Medium. She then shared the story on Twitter, from where people picked it up and started sharing.
In her post, she wrote
It took me years to get over the trauma he put me through. I was so scared around the people I worked with. And I’m sure he’s done this to so many other girls, I just want them to know they’re not alone. It’s been 7 years, and it’s about time I said it out loud.
Following Saloni’s revelation, yet another Indian actress and model, Rachel White also spoke at length about her trauma in a series of tweets.
And in yet another revelation, journalist, Karishma Upadhyay, too narrated her tale of harassment by Sajid on Twitter.
