Jiah Khan's Sister Claims Sajid Khan Sexually Harassed The Late Actress, Asked Her To Take Off Her Top & Rehearse In A Bra

The BBC documentary on Jiah Khan’s death which was aired in the U.K. last week has once again become the subject of headlines. A clip from ‘A Death In Bollywood’ is doing the rounds of the internet where Jiah’s sister Karishma Khan has claimed that filmmaker Sajid Khan sexually harassed the late actress.

Sajid Khan is already facing multiple Me Too allegations against him over the years. In the video, Jiah's sister claimed that while the actress was working on a film with him she was asked to take off her top and rehearse only wearing her bra.

In the clip from the documentary Karishma says, "When she was asked by Sajid Khan to take her top off, she came home and cried. She said it was a rehearsal, she was reading the scripts and he asked her to take off her top and stay in her bra. She didn’t know what to do, she said ‘the filming hasn’t even begun yet and this is happening.’ She came home and cried."

Jiah did continue with the film after the incident and revealing why her sister states what she told her, "I have a contract, and if I leave, he’ll sue me and slander my name and if I stay then I’ll be sexually harassed, it is a lose-lose situation.’ So, she did do the film."

Not just Jiah, according to Karishma she had her own uncomfortable run-in with Sajid Khan when she visited his house with the actress. Recalling what happened she says, "I remember going to Sajid Khan’s house with my big sister and I remember being around the kitchen table, must’ve been like 16 at this stage. I was just wearing a strappy top and was leaned at the table and he was sort of staring and said ‘Oh she wants sex’. My sister Jiah immediately jumped to my defence and said ‘No what are you talking about’, and he said, ‘Look at the way she’s sitting’."

"No she’s innocent, she’s young, she doesn’t know what she wants.’ And then we left shortly after that,” she added.

The clip from the documentary in question was shared by actress Kangana Ranaut who wrote in a tweet, “They killed Jiah they killed Sushant and they tried to kill me, but they roam free have full support of the mafia, growing stronger and successful every year. Know the world is not ideal you are either the prey or the predator. No one will save you you have to save yourself.”

Jiah Khan died in 2013 and after years of investigation, the CBI concluded that her death was a case of suicide while her mother Rabia Khan continues the legal battle alleging it was murder.
