Amrita Puri calls Sajid Khan a creep, cousin Farhan Akhtar responds

India’s MeToo movement has many women opening up on the harassment incidents that they have faced in the past. With each passing day more and more names are being revealed by victims, recently Sajid Khan too was accused by journalist Karishma Upadhyay, actress Saloni Chopra and Rachel White of sexually harassing them.

We now have ‘Aisha’ fame actress Amrita Puri opening up about the ongoing controversy and tweeting, “It was fairly well known that @SimplySajidK is a creep and is completely inappropriate as far as his conduct with women goes.”

“I was warned to stay away from him if I ever came across him. I refuse to believe that it has come as a surprise to ppl from the industry or his family,” her post further read.

Check out her tweet here:

She soon got a response from Sajid Khan’s cousin Farhan Akhtar who tweeted, “I deeply resent your insinuation that me or my family knew of his behaviour yet did nothing. Your anger is justified. Your conspiracy theories not.”

Amrita soon responded to Farhan’s tweet and wrote,

My tweet was not directed to you. Are you related? Pardon my ignorance. Also it’s not fair to generalise as I did. My apologies. However @SimplySajidK’s misconducts were fairly well known. I’m surprised that it’s come as a shock.

As several women made allegations against him, Sajid Khan who was directing ‘Housefull 4’ has stepped down so did Nana Patekar.
