Recently, Jiah's sister leveled allegations against Sajid
Jiah's sister Karishma alleged in the said documentary that Sajid had sexually harassed her sister. She claimed that Sajid had asked Jiah to take off her clothes during a film's rehearsals.

Sajid also allegedly tried to make advances toward Jiah's sister
In the documentary, Karishma also revealed that Sajid had allegedly made advances toward her, when she was just 16. She added that Jiah never raised her voice against the filmmaker as he had allegedly threatened to sue her and slander her name.
Allegations
Sajid has been slammed with similar allegations in the past
In the wake of the MeToo movement, Sajid was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, including actors Rachel White and Saloni Chopra, and journalist Karishma Upadhyay. Subsequently, he had to step down as the director of Housefull 4. Last year, model Dimple Paul alleged that Sajid had sexually abused her when she was 17, on the pretext of offering her a film role.
