In 2018, multiple women came out to share their MeToo ordeals against filmmaker Sajid Khan, after which he stepped down as director of Housefull 4. Khan had been named by multiple women including two actresses -- Sonali Chopra and Rachel White -- and one journalist for sexual misconduct. He has been called out not just for harassment but also for allegedly flashing women. Six years later, Sajid opens up for the first time on the issue and reveals that he contemplated suicide on multiple occasions.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Sajid Khan shared, “I thought of ending my life many times in the last 6 years. It’s been extremely bad, in the sense that I’ve been out of work. Despite getting a clearance from the Indian Film and Television Directors Association (IFTDA). I’m trying to get back on my feet. I had to sell my house and move to a rented flat because of no earnings.”
