Saif Ali Khan: If Someone Asks My Daughter To See Him At Madh Island, I Will Go With Her And Punch That Man
Saif Ali Khan has finally spoken about the #MeToo movement, and also shared his thoughts on how he would react if Sara is faced with an uncomfortable situation
The recent ons to
share his thoughts on current #MeToo controversy is Saif Ali Khan. The actor
who comes from a women-dominated household has spoken on women’s safety. Saif
told Bombay Times, “I am not saying that I am aware of it because of my family.
I am saying, everyone’s got a wife, sister and daughter. You just can’t treat
women like this. I have not heard about it too much, but it must be horrible.
It’s awful to take advantage of pretty young girls who come looking for work
with no one to protect them. They suddenly feel that they are put in a situation
where they have to compromise on their values! It’s terrible for one’s soul and
that’s not right. It’s not going to happen anymore. People will now think twice
before asking someone to come to their bungalow for an audition.”
The actor’s
daughter Sara is set to make her debut with Rohit Shetty’s Simmba. Speaking
about how would he react if she had to face an uncomfortable situations, he
said, “If someone asks my daughter to come see him at Madh Island, I will
go with her and punch that man in the face. If she tells me that this guy said
this to me, he will then be fighting me in court. I am sorry, but that’s my
reaction to it. He wouldn’t dare to do it again. Every girl should have that
kind of security.”

Later, when Saif
Ali Khan was asked about his take on accusations against director Sajid Khan,
he told the leading daily, “I think it’s disgusting to bully and harass women.
Whoever does it, I wouldn’t like to be friends with them. It would change
everything. We are talking about bringing in laws, like PoSH (Prevention of
Sexual Harassment). It’s a law that aims to prevent sexual harassment of women
at workplace. All producers are always responsible. I feel if there’s a problem
on set, it should be the boss’ problem and it should be prevented.”
