Sayali Bhagat is at her best game yet again - accusing Bollywood celebrities of sexual harassment. The actress' public relations team released a statement targeting Amitabh Bachchan, Sajid Khan and Arya Babbar. She alleged Big B 'misbehaved' with her only to later say she has high regards for Mr Bachchan.
If it is to get her share in the limelight, she had received ample attention after accusing Shiney Ahuja for sexually harassing her.
The release quoted Sayali as saying: "There are so many of us who are silently suffering this kind of harassment for so many years. But I can't take it anymore. I am fed up of being treated like an available piece of meat and the only reason I am sharing all this with my media friends, is because I don't believe in taking harassment lying down. It is high time the truth came out. I will be filing police complaints against Shiney, Sajid, Arya and Mr Bachchan and take them all to court if need be. I hope my efforts will not go in vain and I look forward to having the media's support.”
The statement said such harassement forced her to quit the industry completly. “As I gear up to lodge a police complaint against Shiney (Ahuja) and his wife Anupam, I have another big announcement to make. I am quitting films for good, and shall be moving to Milan to pursue a full-time career in modelling. Before I leave the industry for good, I would like to make a few things clear. Shiney is not the only one who has made passes at me or sexually harassed me in the film industry. It is an industry filled with lechers who treat women like me like a piece of meat. Everyone wants a piece of you. I would like to bring to the media's notice some firsthand experiences,” added the actress’ statement.
But now it seems Sayali has developed cold feet and is out about trying to take back her statement. In a defensive mode she says, “I have huge respect for Amitabh sir.
Amitabh sir and Arya sir have never done such things with me. All of those are rumours. I don’t know from where these are coming out, I never said it.” However the actress stands strong on her stand about Shiney Ahuja. “The thing about Shiney Ahuja is true but not the others. It is all rubbish and I have no idea who is doing all of this,” concludes Sayali.
