In a recent interview, Navina Bole has opened up about how the director Sajid has asked her to remove her clothes for an audition and said that she had to wear a bikini on stage.
Actor Bakhtyar Irani has criticised Navina Bole‘s recent allegations against filmmaker Sajid Khan. During a recent interview, Navina Bole had accused Sajid of asking her to undress during an audition in 2006. The clip of the interview went viral on social media, and Bakhtyar responded to the actress’s question and asked her why she had been silent for years, with him suggesting she shouldn’t “stop making easy targets”.
Bakhtyar’s reaction to Navina’s allegation
In a video that was uploaded to social media, Bakhtyar wrote in the comments, “Sorry but why did you go home for a meeting? Meetings normally happen at offices or public places. Women of 1980s or women of 2025 then and now both always knew the basics…I am sorry but stop making easy targets now…when did this happen? Why didn’t you come out then? With all due respect to all women, it is high time we stop giving interviews after 30 days of the incident…that much time is enough to get brains and courage.”
