00:00How MeToo accused Sajid Khan did disgusting things with different women.
00:07He asked someone about sex.
00:11How many times do you have sex in a day?
00:14He asked someone about how many boyfriends he has.
00:19He showed me his link and made me touch it.

00:40How many times do you have sex in a day?
00:43He asked someone about how many boyfriends he has.
00:47He showed me his link and made me touch it.
00:50How many times do you have sex in a day?
00:53He asked someone about how many boyfriends he has.
00:57How many times do you have sex in a day?
01:00He asked someone about how many boyfriends he has.
01:03He showed me his link and made me touch it.
01:06How many times do you have sex in a day?
01:09He asked someone about how many boyfriends he has.
01:12He showed me his link and made me touch it.
01:15How many times do you have sex in a day?
01:18He asked someone about how many boyfriends he has.
01:21He showed me his link and made me touch it.
01:25I lodged a case of sexual assault against sajid khan at juhu police station in 2015.
01:41I also lodged a case of criminal force and criminal intimidation.
01:47and the first thing the police asked me was when did this incident happen?
01:55I said, sir, it happened in 2005.
01:57So the police officer said, why did it take you so long to reach us?
02:03So I said, sir, actually the thing is that it took a lot of time
02:10because at that time I didn't have the courage
02:13to file a complaint against a big name like Sajid Khan for sexual assault.
02:18So they asked, where did this courage come from today?
02:22I said, sir, in 2018, because of the MeToo movement,
02:26many women came forward out of fear and shared their experiences in front of the media.
02:34The experience that makes your soul tremble when you think about it.
02:39You can read in the media interviews, you can read on social media
02:45how MeToo accused Sajid Khan did dirty, disgusting things with different women.
02:52He asked someone about sexual intercourse.
02:56How many times do you have sex in a day?
02:59He asked someone how many boyfriends does he have?
03:04He showed me his link and made me touch the link.
03:09So the question arises, can a woman not share her pain many years after the incident?
03:20Can she not fight for justice?
03:24Of course she can.
03:26At that time we did not have the courage.
03:29Today that courage has been born.
03:32Today it seems that whether it is Sajid Khan or Raj Kundra,
03:37no matter how big the names are,
03:39if those people have done something wrong,
03:42then we can raise our voice against them.
03:46Sir, we did not have proof even then.
03:51Because we do not take a spy camera with us
03:56during a professional meeting with a director or producer.
04:01If the police had asked us what proof we had,
04:05what would we have said?
04:06It would have been his word against my word.
04:10It is a matter of credibility here.
04:14It depends on the situation.
04:17His situation is much bigger than ours.
04:24He is Farah Khan's brother.
04:26Farah Khan is Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan's favorite.
04:29His situation is bigger than ours.
04:31Who are we?
04:32We are outsiders.
04:34We are nobody.
04:35We are nothing.
04:36So how can we prove our truth?
04:41The police asked us,
04:44did you share this experience with anyone at that time?
04:49The answer is yes.
04:51We told our close friends at that time.
04:55We did not tell our family members what they would think about us.
05:01I lost my father at that time.
05:04My family was very disturbed.
05:06I did not want to bother them further by telling them all this.
05:11So yes, we are ready to present all the information and witnesses we have.
05:18But if you ask us if we captured all this on camera,
05:23the answer is no.
05:25We do not take spy cameras for professional meetings.
05:28These meetings were not professional for him.
05:32They were casual meetings.
05:34It was a way to gain self-confidence by giving filmic inspiration.
05:43The law is responsible for punishing.
05:47We want Harvey Winstein to be jailed.
05:55He has been jailed for 23 years.
05:59Similarly, Bollywood's MeToo accused Sajid Khan should also be jailed.
06:05He should be put behind bars.
06:07For how many years?
06:09Our judges will decide.
06:13Keeping in mind the statements of all the victims,
06:18I would like the people of this country to know and understand
06:24that no matter who the accused is,
06:26whether he is poor, rich, rich, Sajid Khan, Raj Kundra,
06:31whoever he is, he cannot escape the law.
