Bipasha Basu Lashes Out At Sajid Khan: 'He Used To Crack Lewd Jokes & Make Women Uncomfortable'
Bipasha Basu lashes out against Sajid Khan by saying that he made women feel uncomfortable as he made lewd jokes on the sets of Humshakals in 2014. She even stated that Sajid Khan was rude to girls.
Sajid
Khan
was
accused
of
sexual
harassment
by
his
assistant
director
Saloni
Chopra,
actress
Rachel
White
and
a
woman
journalist.
All
the
three
women
shared
their
horrific
#MeToo
experience
they
faced
under
his
hands,
which
includes
Sajid
talking
about
the
size
of
their
breasts,
asking
them
to
wear
a
bikini
and
send
pictures
and
demanding
them
to
sleep
with
him.
Now,
Bipasha
Basu
took
to
Twitter
by
saying
that
she
personally
didn't
experience
Sajid
Khan
doing
unruly
advances
with
her,
but
saw
first
hand
that
he
made
lewd
jokes
on
the
sets
of
Humshakals
and
also
made
women
feel
uncomfortable
with
his
antics.
Bipasha
Basu
Says
Sajid
Khan
Was
Rude
To
Girls
On
The
Sets
"I
am
glad
that
women
are
speaking
up
about
the
atrocities
of
these
men
with
power
and
clout.
But
nothing
of
that
sort
happened
with
me.
It
was
just
his
general
attitude
towards
women
that
would
disturb
me
on
set.
He
cracked
lewd
jokes
openly
and
was
pretty
rude
to
all
girls."
I
Could
Have
Lost
My
Temper
Against
Sajid
Khan
Any
Moment
"I
was
told
by
all
not
to
say
anything
to
him
and
stoop
to
his
level,
so
I
quietly
finished
my
work
as
a
professional
and
explained
my
stance
to
the
producers,
that
I
couldn't
associate
myself
with
this
film
anymore
as
I
could
lose
my
temper
any
moment," said
Bipasha
Basu
on
Twitter.
He
Didn't
Try
His
Stupid
Antics
With
Me
"He
never
tried
anything
with
me...
otherwise
I
would
have
spoken
in
2014
only.
I
have
a
very
strong
voice.
Will
never
tolerate
disrespect,"
she
said.
Bipasha
Basu
Praised
Tanushree
Dutta

Bringing
The
#MeToo
Movement

India
Bipasha
Basu
also
thanked
Tanushree
Dutta
for

of
her
so

the
courage

out
against
these
men
who
take
advantage
of
women...
Owing
to
their
fame,
power
and
clout,"
she
said.
