Sajid Khan’s participation in Salman Khan-hosted Bigg Boss 16 has raised a lot of eyebrows. A section of viewers as well as several celebrities have voiced their displeasure over the Housefull director getting a chance to feature in the popular reality show.
For the unversed, Sajid was embroiled in a #MeToo controversy with several women including Mandana Karimi accusing him of exploiting his power and position. Now, after he has been welcomed into the Bigg Boss house, Mandana has said that she doesn’t want to work in Bollywood anymore.
In an interview with a portal, Mandana called out the entertainment industry as a place that has no respect for women. Further revealing that she does not go to auditions anymore, Mandana, who is herself a former Bigg Boss contestant, said that she does not wish to work in Bollywood anymore.
“To be honest, I’m not surprised to see him back in the spotlight. For people, life has become like I will put my head under the sand. If it is going to benefit me, and I can make money, then who cares? That shows why the MeToo movement in India and many other countries didn’t really reach anywhere,” Mandana told Hindustan Times.
Further expressing her emotions, she said, “It does make me feel sad. To be honest, that is also the reason I have not worked for the last seven months. I am not working anymore. I didn’t go to any auditions. I don’t want to work in Bollywood. I don’t want to be involved with an industry where there is no respect for women.”
Talking about what she wants to do after quitting Bollywood, Mandana said that she is still trying to figure things out.
While there has been an outrage on social media over Sajid joining Bigg Boss 16, several celebs such as Kashmera Shah have come out in his support as well.
