Several women in the industry have made complaints against filmmaker Sajid Khan. He has been accused of sexual misconduct. After Jiah Khan’s sister, content creator, and former actor Sherlyn Chopra has also accused Sajid of sexual misbehaviour. These complaints have resulted in a one-year suspension from the Indian Film & Television Directors’ Association. Sherlyn took to her Twitter and recalled an incident from 2005. She revealed that Sajid had exposed himself to her. Sherlyn Chopra wrote that Sajid had asked her to feel him just a few days after her father’s demise.
Sherlyn had opened up about this incident in response to a story about a similar allegation made by Jiah Khan’s sister. Sherlyn was also asked by a user why she chose to stay quiet all this time. Sherlyn said that he has a lot of support and the Bollywood mafia is very strong.
Sherlyn wrote in her tweets, “When I had met him in April 2005, a few days after my father’s demise, he had taken his penis out of his pants and had asked me to feel it. I remember having told him that I know how a penis feels like & that the purpose of my meeting with him was not to feel or rate his penis..”

In another tweet, talking about Sajid, Sherlyn further said, “After flashing his penis, he had not only asked me to touch it & feel it but also asked me if I had ever seen a penis as well endowed as his..”
Meanwhile, in the recently released BBC documentary Death In Bollywood, late actress Jiah Khan’s sister Karishma Khan has made sexual misconduct allegations against Sajid Khan. In a clip from the documentary, Jiah’s sister is heard saying, “When she was asked by Sajid Khan to take her top off, she came home and cried. She said, “It was a rehearsal, she was reading the scripts and he asked her to take off her top and stay in her bra. She didn’t know what to do, she said ‘the filming hasn’t even begun yet and this is happening.’ She came home and cried.”
Karishma further added, “I (Jiah) have a contract, and if I leave, he’ll sue me and slander my name and if I stay then I’ll be sexually harassed, it is a lose-lose situation.’ So, she did do the film.”
