Sajid Khan in Bigg Boss 16? If reports are to be believed, the director accused of sexual harassment by multiple women during #MeToo has been approached for the Salman Khan-hosted show.
Not one or two but six women including some popular names like Sherlyn Chopra, Mandana Karimi, Aahana Kumra, Saloni Chopra and Rachel White among others had accused Heyy Babyy director Sajid Khan of sexual misconduct. Following the charges, the Housefull 4 director stepped down from his directorial post.

It is furthermore suspected that if Sajid appears on the show, he will likely spill the beans on his relationship with Jacqueline Fernandez who is in news these days for her alleged affair with conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar.
For the unversed, a ban was imposed on Khan by the Indian Film and Television Directors¡¯ Association (IFTA) after allegations of sexual harassment surfaced. However, the ban was revoked on Dec 10, 2019. Sajid denied the allegations.

Actor Saloni Chopra who was one of the women who accused Sajid Khan of sexual harassement had said, "He¡¯d ask me what I¡¯m wearing or what I ate. He¡¯d ask me to send him my bikini photos because he needed to know how I looked if I wanted to become an actor... He¡¯d talk about his dick and how big it apparently is and his sexual needs. He would ask me to touch his dick and get irritated with me when I said I didn¡¯t want to. This one time, during a costume trial for a character in the movie he came in to see the girl in the outfit and asked her to lift her skirt and show her ass to him, she looked at me confused and I asked Sajid if it was necessary. She lifted her skirt and he started insulting her telling her she didn¡¯t have any breasts or any ass, how did she think she¡¯d become an actress? Then he asked me to leave the room and let them talk, and I did. It made me sick, but I clearly hadn¡¯t had enough to quit."
I finally decided to share my story with you. Writing this was like re-living all that horrible past I¡¯d chosen to let go of, but I knew if I don¡¯t today, I may never. So here¡¯s #metoo #MetooIndia https://t.co/brouTYIBC7

Model Rachel White said, "I was in a white vest and blue denims and still felt I was standing nude with that gaze. What happens next is that he finishes his cardio and walks up to me asking me about my boobs and making that kind of conversation. I didn¡¯t bother to answer to anything."
