Sona Mohapatra Slams Farhan Akhtar For Not Condemning Sajid Khan's Entry In 'Bigg Boss 16'

Not one or two, nine women including Sherlyn Chopra, Mandana Karimi and Jiah Khan had accused filmmaker Sajid Khan of sexual harassment. Years later, he has become one of the contestants on the most popular reality TV show - Bigg Boss 16. His grand entry in the season hosted by Salman Khan has become a hot topic for discussion, and many people including Sona Mohapatra are clearly not happy about it.

After lashing out at the team of Bigg Boss 16 for picking a #MeToo accused contestant for the show, the Ambarsariya singer has also lashed out at Farhan Akhtar, who heads the organisation Mard, upon his silence.

"Dear @FarOutAkhtar, you front an organisation called MARD. This man & the many others are known to you personally. Speak up, Stand Up only when it¡¯s convenient or pays to virtue signal for ¡®our cause¡¯ not now? Charity begins at home," she wrote on Twitter.

What's even more surprising is that Sajid Khan did not address the #MeToo controversy as made a grand entry on the show. He instead said that his arrogance was the reason behind his downfall. Furthermore, he told Salman Khan how his credit for Housefull 4 had been "snatched" away from him. "Till the night (when he was accused of harassment) I was working on the film and in the morning I was out of the film. My credit on the film was taken away from me", he said.

Meanwhile, not many people know that late actress Jiah Khan's sister Karishma had claimed in documentary Death in Bollywood that Sajid Khan harassed Jiah sexually. As per Karishma, Sajid had asked her to remove her top and bra during a script reading session.

#India ? It¡¯s only on us to feel triggered, pain, humiliated & let down? Bear the consequences for speaking up. Lose the few opportunities we have ? Be trolled? Called; troublemaker, controversial & worse? https://t.co/LPRZRZPR8e
