Taking to Instagram, Paul made a post talking about her being harassed by Sajid Khan under the pretence of getting a role in Housefull. She shared the post with a string of pictures narrating her story with all her fans out there. On Wednesday, in her penned note, Paul alleged that she was abused by Sajid Khan at the age of 17. She wrote, "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 (sic)."
She added, “He spoke dirty to me. He tried to touch me. He even told me to strip in front of him just to get a role in his upcoming Housefull movie (sic)." The model then said that she understands that she did wrong by not speaking up about what happened with her earlier. She went on to talk about how such people must be put behind bars for casting couch and for ‘manipulation and stealing away your dreams’.
