#MeToo: Saloni Chopra reacts to Sajid Khan’s suspension from IFTDA

#MeToo movement might be slowing down in recent times and losing momentum, but it has raised a very important and pertinent issue about women safety. The whole #MeToo movement in India started with Tanushree Dutta levelling sexual harassment allegations against veteran actor Nana Patekar. The alleged incident had happened on the sets of ‘Horn OK Pleassss’ in 2008.

Now, actress Saloni Chopra, who had also levelled sexual harassment allegations against director Sajid Khan has reacted to the news of Sajid being suspended from the Indian Film and Television Directors Association (IFTDA) for a year. Saloni welcomed the decision and wrote a Twitter post.

Everyone’s texting, asking me what I have to say about the latest on @SimplySajidK … am I glad? Is this enough? well, here’s all I have to say.@karishmau @whitespeaking @jaideep_sen @DirectorsIFTDA @akshaykumar @FarOutAkhtar @IamOnir @vintananda #SajidKhan #metooindia #metoo pic.twitter.com/Ht43jZq4YE

The actress is glad about the outcome and hoped that the ‘Housefull’ director owns up his act and starts to apologise to women. Sajid Khan, after being named in #MeToo movement by several women over alleged sexual harassment was sacked as the director of ‘Housefull 4’. Saloni Chopra had earlier worked as an assistant director with Sajid.

#MeToo movement has raised some uncomfortable and harsh questions regarding women’s safety at the workplace. The movement should serve as a deterrent to sexual offenders and no actress or women for that matter has to go through sexual harassment of any kind.
