The 'Ishqbaaz' actress opened up about the casting couch experience in the industry. She revealed how she was invited by Sajid Khan to his home and was asked to meet his inappropriate demand. The actress said, 'There was a terrible, terrible man who I would never want to meet in my life called Sajid Khan, he came after so many of us after Gladrags, and he just really pushed the envelope when it came to disrespecting women.'
While recalling her interaction with Sajid during the casting of 'Heyy Baby', she said, 'You know, I was really excited when he called me and then he literally said, 'Why don't you just get off your clothes and sit in your lingerie, I need to see how comfortable you are.' I am talking about 2004 and 2006 when I did Gladrags.'
The actress shared that director Sajid Khan once again contacted her when she was participating in Mrs India. She recounted, 'He had called me again then and asked me, 'What do you do, you should come see me for a role.' And I said this guy must be hitting on so many women that he does not even remember that one year ago he had called me to his place and he has already hit on me so badly.'
For the unversed, Sajid Khan was accused of sexually harassing many women during the 2018 India's #MeToo movement.
