Seems like Sajid Khan had dug up a hole quite big for him to fit in easily. After sexual harrassment allegations from Mandna Karimi, Rachel White and Saloni Chopra, journalist, Karishma Upadhyay also has some fingers to point in his direction. Now actress Simran Suri has spoken about her ordeal with him and it is a similar story to Rachel's. Recollecting her horrowing experiences, Karishma took to Twitter and wrote what she went through.

After reading about Rachel's experience, Simran wrote,"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."

She went on to reveal that the incident took place at Himmatwala's casting. She added,"He (Sajid) was on his treadmill, wearing an undershirt. He said, 'See, my body is so good!' I was wondering why a man, who is supposed to be in a professional meeting, wearing sandos! I felt really weird. After some time, he asked me to strip. I was shocked but he said, 'I am the director. I will have to see your body."

In her account told to Indian Express, she said that the director then pulled down his pants and when she tried to protest, he told her that his mom is present in a room next to his. Simran escaped and deleted his number thereafter. She asked him never to call her again. She said,"," Within an hour, I got a call from him, 'Hey, this is Sajid. For us to work together, it's important to know each other,' he told me. I actually abused him and told him off."
