Sherlyn Chopra, one of the several women who accused Sajid Khan of sexual misconduct, slammed Bigg Boss Season 16 after the show confirmed Sajid's participation this season. She also took to social media to share her interview with Aaj Tak where she angrily questioned the show's host Salman Khan about his lack of empathy towards Sajid Khan's victims.
Stating how Salman is lovingly called 'Bhaijaan', she urged the Bharat actor to assume the relationship of her brother and evict her alleged molester from the house. She asks Salman, "Can't you become a brother to us wronged women?"
Sharing her video, she tweeted in Hindi, "This is a request from all your sisters."
Speaking to Instant Bollywood at a recent press meet, the model-actor further said, “All the victims had similar experiences, not even one of them said that he kept his hands on my head and gave me blessings. So it should be understood that he is a habitual molester and a sexual predator."
Sharing an article urging the show to take action against Sajid Khan's participation, she requested Salman Khan to take a stand. She also tweeted, "He had flashed his private part at me & asked me to rate it on a scale of 0 to 10. I’d like to enter into the house of Big Boss & give him the rating! Let India watch how a survivor deals with her molester!"
Besides Sherlyn Chopra, several other celebrities have also accused Sajid of sexual harassment. Mandana Karimi, Sona Mohapatra, Devoleena Bhattacharjee and Urfi Javed are some of the women who are continuing to protest his participation in Bigg Boss. Chief of Delhi Commission for Women, Swati Maliwal also wrote to Information and Broadcasting minister, Anurag Thakur demanding that Sajid Khan be ousted from the show.
