People Are Rightly Furious Over Sajid Khan’s Entry In Bigg Boss 16, Condemn Shehnaaz Gill Supporting Him
The king of controversial shows Bigg Boss‘ first episode which is the premiere episode was out on October 1, 2022. And staying true to its nature, the show managed to stir up a controversy with its pilot episode by welcoming a #MeToo accused director, Sajid Khan, with open arms on the show. This has triggered a series of negative reactions from the audience who went on to Twitter to voice their dissent. And rightly so! Instead of being ousted from the industry, this man is being openly invited to a show on national television. How does this even make sense?

People have come out and slammed the show creators for taking in Sajid Khan as a contestant even after many harassment and sexual misconduct allegations against him. As if his entry into the Bigg Boss house was not shocking enough, actress Shehnaaz Gill has gone out and extended her support to Sajid. A clip of the video has gone viral on the internet wherein Gill is singing Sajid’s praises. People have gone on to slam her as well for coming out in support of a man who has been publicly accused of sexually harassing them.
One of the Twitter users wrote that Shehnaaz Gill only praised Sajid because she is working on a film with him and is here to create a ‘network’ for her. One of them also went ahead and wrote that being a woman, Shehnaaz should’ve taken into account the pain of all those women who have accused Sajid before supporting him. Another wrote that Sajid Khan has chosen Big Boss as a platform to ‘whitewash’ his image as a molester.
Just for sake of creating network in Bollywood, #ShehnaazGill became #SajidKhan sister…?
And she as well supported a molester for a movie. Ewww. #AsimRiaz is right! He is the real #SidharthShukla Friend!#Bb16 . #BigBoss16

Why #ShehnazGill is supporting #SajidKhan? For a Film as #SajidKhan said she signed 4 films 😂! #Bb16#BigBoss16

Can't believe how #SajidKhan is being portrayed as a hero. His participation is understandable but at least not this way. And then getting #ShehnaazGill to just get him some support. Chi#BiggBoss16 #biggboss #BB16

Few things about #SajidKhan
Sherlyn and Jiah Khan & many other women have come out in the past to share their #MeToo experiences against Sajid Khan.
He was underground for long time now suddenly he's taking part in #BB16 for washing his crime record#BiggBoss16 Very Helpfull pic.twitter.com/6gLhzthDQP

One of the sane-minded Twitter users said that they should all unite to throw Sajid out of the Big Boss house within the first week itself. Hoping y’ll make it happen!

Itna image clarification karna hai toh, bring those women too who had accused him of molestation. Let them also have a platform nd audience to hear their side. Nd we'll see how long he'll play victim on ntv. #SajidKhan#BB16

As a punjabi ,this girl #ShehnaazGill is making our state Punjab down by supporting #SajidKhan & suporting him for clearing his image.
I condemn her act of this for mere a movie she is doing this. Shame on her. Already she did cheap things in bb13 & made us ashamed & now this. pic.twitter.com/UmE5at6vcM— Aujla Sahab 👑 (@aujlaSahab_) October 2, 2022
People’s anger is quite understandable and quite valid as well in this case. He has been accused by Aahana Kumra, model Dimple Paul and a couple of other women of sexually abusing them. But if you take a look at the comments on Twitter, it is quote shocking to see people also coming out in support of Sajid just because Shehnaaz Gill is supporting him.
So Happy to See Our Queen @ishehnaaz_gill #ShehnaazGill On #BiggBoss16 😍 in the support of #SajidKhan pic.twitter.com/iS1AX0FWJl

While Sajid was getting accused of sexual harassment, people trashed them, then. So just because your loved celebrity is supporting an abuser, will you, too, blindly support them? And Shehnaaz Gill should understand how her words and actions directly impact people. It is beyond my understanding why she has chosen to work with a #MeeTo accused filmmaker.
