Sayali Bhagat includes Amitabh in sexual harassment list

Sayali Bhagat who is recently in news for her statement made against actor Shiney Ahuja for sexual harassment, has now added more people from the film industry in to her list.

Sayali Bhagat has released an official press statement, making a complaint against the people in the industry who she blames for sexually harassing her. The list include not just Shiney Ahuja and his wife Anupama, but also Amitabh Bachchan, Sajid Khan and Arya Babbar.

Here's her Official Press Statement:
As I gear up to lodge a police complaint against Shiney (Ahuja) and his wife Anupam, I have another big announcement to make. I am quitting films for good, and shall be moving to Milan to pursue a full time career in modeling.

Before I leave the industry for good, I would like to make a few things clear. Shiney is not the only one who has made passes at me or sexually harassed me in the film industry. It is an industry filled with lechers who treat Women like me like a piece of meat. Everyone wants a piece of you. I would like to bring to the media's notice some first hand experiences.

Sexual Harassment from Amitabh Bachchan: Recently, at the launch of the first look of Tinu Verma's film This Weekend, Mr Amitabh Bachchan was the chief guest. Like everybody else, even I bent down to touch his feet to seek his blessings. Amitabh placed his hand on my butt and felt it up.

I was too stunned to say anything to anyone. He should show some respect. After all, he is a 70 year old man, my grandfather's age. I felt like slapping him the moment he placed his hand on my butt.

The release quoted Sayali as saying: "There are so many of us who are silently suffering this kind of harassment for so many years. But I can't take it anymore. I am fed up of being treated like an available piece of meat and the only reason I am sharing all this with my media friends, is because I don't believe in taking harassment lying down. It is high time the truth came out. I will be filing police complaints against Shiney, Sajid, Arya and Mr Bachchan and take them all to court if need be. I hope my efforts will not go in vain and I look forward to having the media's support.”
