Sajid, who has been accused of sexual assault allegations, including instances when he flashed his private parts at parties, asked female actors to send him their nude pictures as part of the casting process and watched porn in front of women, entered the house during the grand premiere on Saturday. Mohapatra took to Twitter to express her objection to the appearance of Sajid, who is also the younger brother of filmmaker Farah Khan.

She wrote, "This is #SajidKhan, now on a reality TV show. Then there is #AnuMalik judging a music reality show on TV, for children no less. #KailashKher? Celebrity Judge on TV. ALL called out by many women in @IndiaMeToo. Indian TV channels, executives are indeed depraved and sad lot (sic)."
