TV actor Navina Bole Accuses Sajid Khan of Misconduct, Asked Her to Strip "take off her clothes."

TV actress Navina Bole has accused filmmaker Sajid Khan of inappropriate behavior during a meeting at his home.

Navina Bole has been part of multiple shows, including Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, Kumkum Bhagya, Sapna Babul Ka, and many more.

The actress recalls the incident and alleges that Sajid Khan once called her to his home and asked her to "take off her clothes."

This is not too shocking, as Sajid had faced similar accusations during the 2018 #MeToo movement. When around nine women, including Saloni Chopra, Sherlyn Chopra, Aahana Kumra, and Mandana Karimi, had accused him of sexual harassment.

Navina Bole, during a conversation with Subhojit Ghosh for his YouTube channel, recalls this incident, and she said, “There was a terrible, terrible man who I would never want to meet in my life called Sajid Khan. He came after so many of us after Gladrags, and he just really pushed the envelope when it came to disrespecting women."

Further adding to her statement, Navina added, “You know, I was really excited when he called me, and then he literally said, ‘Why don't you just get off your clothes and sit in your lingerie?’ I need to see how comfortable you are.' I am talking about 2004 and 2006 when I did Gladrags."

To add more to it, she revealed that this whole conversation/meeting happened at his house instead of his office.

Navina recalls the conversation that took nearly a decade ago, “He (Sajid Khan) said, ‘why, you wore a bikini on stage, so what is the problem, it's all ‘Ti*s and a*s' in his language. You can just calm and sit here comfortably and just sit here, be yourself.' I did not know what to say, I said, ‘Listen I really need to go home and get into a bikini if that is what you really want to see but I cannot be sitting here and strip right now,'” the actress said.

She added, “Somehow I managed to get out of that place and he must have called me at least 50 times, asking me, why am I not coming, where have I reached."

Navina Bole later revealed that Sajid Khan got in touch with her again a year later, around the time she was participating in Mrs. India.

She shared, “He (Sajid Khan) had called me again then and asked me, ‘What do you do, you should come see me for a role.' And I said this guy must be hitting on so many women that he does not even remember that one year ago he had called me to his place and he has already hit on me so badly.
