Aahana Kumra, who was last seen in the controversial Bollywood film, 'Lipstick Under My Burkha', has joined the list of celebs who have shared their unpleasant stories about the harassment they encountered with director Sajid Khan.
The actress confessed to being so disillusioned at one point that she attempted suicide. She spoke about the emphasis on looking good in Bollywood in an interview with Bombay Times. "People tell you things like, 'acting ke upar dhyaan mat do (don't worry much about acting). Just take care of your looks.'
She had a brush with Sajid Khan's predator ways and went on to narrate an incident. "Sajid Khan once messaged me, 'Oh, you can look hot in a bikini also!' I think it shocked him that I could look good in a bikini. This was after our meeting."
Talking about her meeting with Sajid, she went on to say, "I had a meeting with Sajid Khan about a year ago, knowing the fact that he is a shady guy. I met him and he did the same thing that Saloni (Chopra) has written about him. Same drill - you go to his house, you are escorted to his room which is pretty dark. He makes you watch what he's watching. He did not make a pass at me, but he said that he wanted to get to know me. When I asked him why we can't sit outside, he said his mother was sitting there so why trouble her. I asked him to switch on the lights of the room, which he did. You have to be assertive here. He wanted to chat with me. I told him my mom's a police officer which I think made him behave. He didn't touch me. I guess he was trying to give me gyaan on how I need to laugh at his sexist jokes if I wanted to be a mainstream heroine in his films. He implied that I think too much and that I am too vocal about what I think. Hence, I am not mainstream actress material. Point being, you can meet anyone, but be wise about who you work with."
