He is best known for his film Heyy Babyy and the Housefull franchise. But unfortunately, things went down south for the actor-turned-director in 2018. The MeToo movement began in India in late 2018 and is still continuing since the onset of the movement, many Indian celebrities got caught up in it, and Sajid was one of them. He was accused of s*xual harassment by many actresses and models. There were around nine complaints against him. Several models and actresses came out and spoke about being ‘mistreated’ by the Housefull director. Some of the actors were Sherlyn Chopra, Mandana Karimi, Rachel White, and Saloni Chopra. There were allegations of him passing lewd comments and asking lascivious questions. There were accusations of him flashing private parts at them and watching porn in front of them, also.
