Newer names emerged on Thursday in the #MeToo movement as actor Saloni Chopra accused director Sajid Khan of sexual harassment while she worked with him as an assistant.
She also accused Vikas Bahl, who is already facing sexual harassment charges from a former employee, of being a sexist.
Chopra also detailed an alleged toxic relationship with Kuchh Bheege Alfaaz actor Zain Durrani of physical abuse.
