Farah Khan, Farhan Akhtar react to allegations against Sajid Khan
Yesterday it emerged that Sajid Khan had been accused by a number of people of sexual harassment – including a journalist and an actress. His sister Farah Khan and cousin Farhan Akhtar have spoken out.
Interestingly, after Tanushree Dutta’s revelations about Nana Patekar’s conduct during a film shoot over 10 years ago, Farah had chosen to put up a photograph with the latter as part of the ‘Housefull 4’ film shoot. She said on Twitter:
This is a heartbreaking time for my family.We have to work through some very difficult issues. If my brother has behaved in this manner he has a lot to atone for.I don’t in any way endorse this behavior and Stand in solidarity with any woman who has been hurt.

Akhtar, who has made his solidarity known with others who have revealed their #MeToo stories, also made his views known:
I cannot adequately stress how shocked, disappointed and heartbroken I am to read the stories about Sajid’s behaviour.
I don’t know how but he will have to find a way to atone for his alleged actions.— Farhan Akhtar (@FarOutAkhtar) October 12, 2018
He went on to add:
Let there be no confusion about whether I stand in solidarity with the women who have spoken up. I absolutely do. @karishmau @redheadchopra https://t.co/qYmaj2yN4P
