The actress, who had participated in the Gladrags modeling event between 2004 and 2006, said Khan repeatedly targeted women from the modeling circuit. “He came after so many of us after Gladrags and really pushed the envelope when it came to disrespecting women,” she alleged.
Bole also shared that years later, during her participation in the Mrs India pageant, Sajid Khan contacted her again. “He didn’t even remember that he had already hit on me badly a year earlier,” she said, highlighting a pattern of predatory behavior.
Sajid Khan has previously faced multiple accusations during the #MeToo movement, with several women alleging misconduct against him.
