As model Paula accuses filmmaker Sajid Khan of harassing her when she was 17, netizens fume and post tweets under the hashtag 'Arrest Sajid Khan'. Paula penned a note on Instagram that reads, "When #MeToo movement started, a lot of people spoke about Sajid Khan but I did not dare to because like every other actor who has no godfather and had to earn for a family I kept quiet. Now I don't have my parents with me. I'm earning for myself. I can dare to tell that I have been harassed by Sajid Khan at the age of 17."

Paula further said that Sajid Khan spoke dirty to her, and tried to touch her inappropriately. Paula further added, "He even told me to strip in front of him just to get a role in his upcoming Housefull movie."

Paula further asserted that she regrets not speaking up before, but also said that she believes such people should be behind the bars.

"These bastards should be behind bars not only for casting couch but also for manipulating and stealing away your dreams," wrote Paula.

A user wrote, "No matter how late... Atleast you dared. And thats enough for the people to support you...! We are always there for you.🙏"

Another user also lent support to Paula and wrote, "It takes guts to speak up girl. We are proud of you. More power to you."

"We are with you 🙏 please stay strong," commented another user on her post.

Amid all the hullabaloo around Paula's post, Twitterati started slamming Sajid Khan and urged the government to arrest the filmmaker for his alleged notorious act.

A user wrote, "The girl was not even an adult when this happened. Sajid khan should be arrested. #ArrestSajidKhan."

Another user wrote, "Its 4th time Sajid Khan been accused of sexual harassment. But the Police is busy in targetting #KanganaRanaut. How long will it take for him to get convicted? #ArrestSajidKhan"

We wonder how would Sajid react to Paula's allegations.
