Farhan Akhtar on allegations of sexual harassment against Sajid Khan: Felt guilty for not knowing what he was up to
FirstpostFarhan Akhtar says he feels a sense of guilt for not being aware of the indecent behaviour of his cousin Sajid Khan, who has been accused of sexual harassment by several women. When the allegations had surfaced, Farhan, who has been a vocal supporter of #MeToo movement, was one of the first celebrities to react and had termed them as “shocking.” “Everytime something like this has happened in the public domain, I’ve been very vocal with my opinion. Farhan feels he wishes he had known about Sajid’s behaviour and said three women spoke to him privately, accusing the filmmaker of the same. “There were two-three women who got in touch with me privately to say ’listen you should know whatever is being said is true and he has behaved in a similar way with us as well.’ These are the people I’ve known for 12, 15, 20 years and meet them very often but nobody ever mentioned this to me.
