Subhash Ghai in a statement said, “As I hear some allegation made against me in the air from section of media. It’s very sad that it’s becoming a fashion to malign anyone known, bringing some stories from past without any truth or half-truth, if at all. I deny strictly and firmly all false allegations like these. I will go for defamation certainly.”
Famous director and host Sajid Khan has also been accused of sexual harassment by as many as three women recently that include actor Rachel White, assistant director Saloni Chopra and journalist Karishma Upadhyay.
Actress Saloni Chopra called out Sajid for his indecent behaviour while she was working with him as an assistant director. Another actress Rachel White came out in her support and recounted her horrible experience of meeting the filmmaker once for a role at his home. She in a series of tweet has also shared her personal story.
I finally decided to share my story with you. Writing this was like re-living all that horrible past I’d chosen to let go of, but I knew if I don’t today, I may never. So here’s #metoo #MetooIndia https://t.co/brouTYIBC7

Another woman has come forward after these allegations.
I kept thinking all these years @whitespeaking to talk about this a## @SimplySajidK and what stopped me was that nobody would listen. He did exactly the same with me while he was casting for Himmatwala. Called me to his juju house and asked me to strip. https://t.co/BSNnMFjv9K
