Navina Bole, the actor most popular for her work in the series Miley Jab Hum Tum and Ishqbaaz, has levelled sexual misconduct allegations against filmmaker Sajid Khan. In her latest conversation with Subhojit Ghosh on YouTube, Navina stated that Sajid asked her to remove her clothes and be in bikini. "There was this terrible, terrible man, who I would never want to meet in my life, called Sajid Khan, who I think came after so many of us after gladrags and he just really pushed the envelope when it came to disrespecting women," Navina said.
Reminiscing about her experience with Sajid as part of casting for his film Heyy Baby, Navina stated that she was "really excited when he called" her. However, the actor added, Sajid asked her to just be in her lingerie so that he could find out her "comfort" level. "I am talking about 2004 and 2006 when I did gladrags," the actor emphasised.
In the same interivew, Navina added that Sajid reached out to her over a role in the subsequent year when she was a Mrs India participant. "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," Navina said.
This is not the first time sexual misconduct accusations have been levelled against Sajid Khan. The Housefull franchise director recently discussed being out of work for six years after facing MeToo allegations.
