Bigg Boss 16: Shehnaaz Gill's Fans Disappointed Seeing Her Supporting #MeToo Accused Sajid Khan

The controversial reality show, Bigg Boss 16 finally premiered on national television on October 2, 2022. The Salman Khan-hosted show caught instant attention from the viewers as soon as producer, Sajid Khan made his way into the show. The reason behind it was the accusations from six famous Bollywood actresses and models, who accused the producer of assaulting them sexually. The six actresses were Paula, Saloni Chopra, Rachel White, Aahana Kumar, Mandana Karimi, and an unnamed female journalist. All the six ladies accused Sajid Khan of sexual misconduct when in October 2018, the #MeToo movement was on the rise.

On the professional front, Sajid Khan's career has gone down many downshifts in recent years. His last two films, Himmatwala and Humshakal as a director were box-office bombs and hampered his image in Bollywood. If reports are to be believed, Sajid Khan is going to make a comeback with the film, 100 Percent, whose story will also be reportedly written by him.
