New Delhi: Actress and celebrity Sherlyn Chopra is miffed with the makers of the reality television show 'Bigg Boss' for including film director Sajid Khan, who was embroiled in the #MeToo controversy in India, back in 2018.
However, she has clarified that she just wants to make her voice heard along with several other women, who are the victims to Sajid's alleged sexual misconduct.
During a media interaction at her Juhu home in Mumbai, Sherlyn told reporters, "I'm not looking to settle the scores with Sajid, I just want to make sure that no other woman falls victim to a molester like Sajid Khan."
She further mentioned that she would like to go to the 'Bigg Boss' house not as a contestant but just for a day to have a face off with Sajid Khan so that she could bring the truth to light on national television.
"I'm waiting for 'Bigg Boss' makers to call me and women who are Sajid's victims, to the reality show just for one day. I'll come on national television and face him and ask him to flash his private parts for the camera, we will then give a rating to him on national television, as he requested me for the same several years back when I went to his place for a narration," she added.
While talking to the media at her Juhu residence in Mumbai, Sherlyn said, "It was distressing to know that the show makers invited Sajid Khan to the 'Bigg Boss' house."
She went on to recall the disturbing incident that occurred back in 2005. She alleged Sajid of sexual misconduct and flashing his private part at her during the initial phase of her career when she was called by Khan to his house for a narration.
Chopra further mentioned, "In 2005, my father passed away. During that time, Sajid called me to his house for a story narration. I didn't know that he was a molester because remember we are talking about 2005 when the Internet and the smartphones weren't even there in the picture."
She continued, "I went to his house with big dreams. During the narration, he flashed his private parts, and asked me, 'You want to touch it? Feel it? You want to rate it?'".
The incident left her "completely shaken".
For a long time, Chopra blamed but things changed during the India part of the #MeToo campaign, "As #MeToo unfolded, I understood that he had molested several other women as well."Targeting the makers of Bigg Boss', the actress said, "If it's a reality show then let the reality come out, why are you keeping it under the wraps. If you can't then call us, we will uncover the truth."
Currently, Chopra is seeking legal help from her team, "My legal representatives Saif and Sohail, have sent over a notice to the makers of 'Bigg Boss'", she concluded.
