Filmmaker
Sajid
Khan
faced
#metoo
allegations
from
multiple
women
in
October
2018.
After
the
allegations,
He
lost
a
prestigious
project,
Housefull
4,
that
he
was
directing.
Farhan
Akhtar,
who
is
Sajid's
cousin,
condemned
and
criticised
his
alleged
sexual
misconduct
on
Twitter.
He
wrote,
"I
cannot
adequately
stress
how
shocked,
disappointed
and
heartbroken
I
am
to
read
the
stories
about
Sajid's
behaviour.
I
don't
know
how
but
he
will
have
to
find
a
way
to
atone
for
his
alleged
actions.''
It
is
said
that
Farah
Khan
had
expected
her
cousins
Farhan
Akhtar
and
Zoya
Akhtar
to
lend
their
support
to
the
family
but
she
got
really
upset
after
knowing
about
Farhan's
tweet
against
Sajid.
Farah
Wanted
Farhan
To
Support
The
Family
Talking
about
the
same,
a
source
told
India
Today,
''Not
that
Farah
expected
Farhan
to
speak
in
Sajid's
support,
but
being
family,
the
least
Farhan
and
his
sister
Zoya
could've
done
was
to
hold
Farah's
hand
during
this
hour
of
crisis,
or
so
Farah
believed.''
She
Was
Not
Expecting
This
From
Farhan
''Instead,
Farhan
openly
criticised
Sajid's
conduct
on
Twitter
and
described
Sajid
as
a
shame
to
the
family.''
Farah
Was
Shocked
The
report
further
stated,
''To
add
insult
to
injury,
Farhan
hosted
a
party
in
the
same
week
when
Sajid
and
his
family
were
reeling
from
the
allegations
of
sexual
misconduct,
which
forced
him
to
opt
out
of
his
directorial
venture
Housefull
4.''
She
Will
Not
Attend
Farhan's
Wedding
''That
really
hurt.
As
things
stand
now,
Farhan's
family
has
dissociated
itself
completely
from
Farah
and
her
brother,
and
if
Farhan
gets
re-married
this
year,
you're
unlikely
to
see
Farah
dancing
at
the
wedding.''
On
the
personal
front,
there
are
reports
that
Farhan
Akhtar
will
get
married
to
his
girlfriend
Shibani
Dandekar
this
year.
