Farhan
Reveals
Three
Women
Came
Out
&
Spoke
To
Him
About
Sajid
Khan
"Everytime
something
like
this
has
happened
in
the
public
domain,
I've
been
very
vocal
with
my
opinion.
When
it
came
to
someone
within
my
family,
I
felt
silence
on
that
front
would
be
very,
very
hypocritical," Farhan
said.
"So
pretty
much
on
the
first
day
when
three
women
came
out
and
spoke,
I
felt
it
was
important
for
me
to
speak
out.
Sajid,
being
my
brother,
I
need
to
now
work
with
him,
try
to
figure
out
how
he
can
see
this
thing
through
and
how
it
is
that
he
can
make
the
women
who
have
been
affected
by
his
actions,
somehow
feel
better," he
added.
Farhan
Says
Sajid
Has
To
Face
The
Consequences
The
actor
was
in
conversation
with
journalist
Barkha
Dutt
at
We
The
Women
event
here.
When
Barkha
said
an
apology
alone
would
not
suffice
as
sexual
violation
is
a
crime,
Farhan
said,
"Absolutely.
Whether
stuff
like
this
needs
to
go
into
the
ambit
of
court
is
for
them
to
decide.
These
are
the
things
he
(Sajid)
has
to
face."
"To
start
with
apologising
is
a
big
step.
To
say
'I
am
sorry
about
what
I
did' is
a
big
step,
it
can
make
a
person
feel
a
lot
better,"
he
added.
Farhan
Said
When
He
First
Heard
About
The
Accusations
Against
His
Cousin,
He
Had
Conflicted
Emotions
"It
was
surprise,
disappointment
and
strangely,
because
when
it's
a
member
of
your
family,
you
also
feel
a
certain
level
of
guilt.
It's
happened
to
all
of
us
in
the
past
when
we
hear
something
like
this
and
say
'but
how
come
someone
so
close
to
him
didn't
know.'
"The
truth
is
I
didn't.
If
I
did
know
I
would've
spoken
about
it
way
before
the
story
broke.
There
was
this
certain
guilt
about
that,
how
could
this
be
going
on
and
I
had
no
idea.
So
there
were
conflicted
emotions," he
said.
Farhan
Says
He
Knows
These
Three
Women
For
More
Than
A
Decade
Farhan
feels
he
wishes
he
had
known
about
Sajid's
behaviour
and
said
three
women
spoke
to
him
privately,
accusing
the
filmmaker
of
the
same.
"There
were
two-three
women
who
got
in
touch
with
me
privately
to
say
'listen
you
should
know
whatever
is
being
said
is
true
and
he
has
behaved
in
a
similar
way
with
us
as
well.' These
are
the
people
I've
known
for
12,
15,
20
years
and
meet
them
very
often
but
nobody
ever
mentioned
this
to
me.
I
asked
them
why
didn't
you
ever
tell
me?
"I
have
been
doing
something
with
MARD
for
the
last
five
years,
I
wouldn't
have
been
on
his
side
if
you
had
brought
it
to
my
attention
but
somehow
they
weren't
comfortable
to
speak
about
it,"
he
said.
Farhan
Reveals
Why
He
Can’t
Go
Public
With
Their
Names
But
the
actor
says
it
is
ultimately
a
woman's
decision
when
she
wants
to
come
out
and
tell
her
story
and
she
should
be
given
that
environment
and
space.
"If
someone
has
behaved
badly
with
a
woman
and
she
hasn't
spoken
about
it
for
ten,
20
or
30
years,
it's
her
prerogative
when
she
wants
to
speak.
Even
if
someone
tells
me
privately,
like
these
three
women,
I
cannot
take
their
names.
"Can
I
go
to
the
public
with
that?
I
can't
because
she
will
be
answerable
then
for
the
rest
of
her
life
and
maybe
she
first
want
to
be.
It's
a
woman's
agency," he
added.
Also
present
at
the
panel
discussion
were
politician
Milind
Deora
and
comedian
Cyrus
Broacha.
