The
#MeToo
movement
has
opened
a
can
of
worms
and
Saif
Ali
Khan
says
he
stands
in
solidarity
with
women
sharing
their
stories
of
sexual
harassment
as
he
understands
the
pain
they
have
been
through.
The
Baazaar
star
said
he
faced
harassment
years
ago,
even
though
it
was
not
sexual
in
nature.
"I
have
also
been
harassed
in
my
career,
not
sexually,
but
I
have
been
harassed
25
years
ago
and
I
am
still
angry
about
it,"
Saif
told
PTI.
"Most
people
don't
understand
other
people.
It
is
very
difficult
to
understand
other
people's
pain.
I
don't
want
to
talk
about
it
because
I
am
not
important
today.
Even
when
I
think
about
what
happened
with
me
I
still
get
angry.
Today,
we
have
to
look
after
women,"
he
added.
Saif
said
the
offenders
must
be
punished
even
if
they
are
found
guilty
in
an
old
case.
"People
are
offended
and
they
want
justice.
What
it
is
happening
is
good
and
it
gives
you
a
sense
that
something
is
happening.
You
are
removing
someone
(from
the
job)
and
it
is
a
big
deal.
You
are
removing
a
person,
but
everybody
has
worked
on
a
project
so
you
have
to
balance
things.
People
who
have
sexually
harassed
and
abused
women
should
pay
for
it."
His
co-stars
from
Humshakals,
Bipasha
Basu
and
Esha
Gupta,
recently
opened
up
about
director
Sajid
Khan's
"rude"
behaviour
towards
women
on
the
sets
of
the
2014
film.
While
Bipasha
said
she
was
disturbed
with
Sajid's
attitude
towards
women,
Esha
revealed
she
got
into
a
lot
of
arguments
with
him.
Sajid
is
accused
of
sexual
misconduct
by
three
female
actors
and
a
journalist.
He
has
since
been
replaced
by
Farhad
Samji
as
the
director
of
Housefull
4.
Recalling
his
experience
during
Humshakals,
Saif
said,
"I
don't
remember
anything
like
this
happening
genuinely
because
if
it
would
have
happened
I
would
not
have
been
comfortable
in
that
environment
or
allowed
it
to
happen
in
front
of
me.
I
would
hate
an
atmosphere
where
women
are
being
looked
down
upon
or
mistreated
in
any
way.
I
don't
think
that's
how
an
atmosphere
should
be,"
he
added.
Saif,
48,
asserted
he
will
not
work
with
those
who
have
been
accused
of
sexual
misconduct.
"We
all
need
to
have
the
same
attitude.
I
don't
want
to
work
with
them.
We
have
to
understand
that
how
these
people
are
behaving,
it
is
not
ok,
it
is
disgusting."
