Who Is Navina Bole? Know About The TV Actress Who Accused Sajid Khan Of Sexual Harassment

Actress Navina Bole recently made some shocking allegations against filmmaker and former Bigg Boss contestant Sajid Khan. She accused him of sexual harassment and called him a 'terrible' man. During one of her recent interviews, the actress claimed that during a meeting around 2004, when Sajid was working on Heyy Babyy, he called her to his office and asked her to take off her clothes in front of him.

During a conversation with YouTuber Subhojit Ghosh, Navina said, "There is this terrible, terrible man who I would never want to meet in my life called Sajid Khan. He really pushed the envelope when it came to disrespecting women. I was excited when he called me and then he said, 'Why don't you just get off your clothes and sit in your lingerie? I need to see how comfortable you are in your body'."

Who is Navina Bole?

Navina is a television actress and model. She's best known for her work in popular Hindi TV shows. She played Diya Bhushan in Miley Jab Hum Tum (a popular youth show), and later appeared as Tia Kapoor, a stylish and glamorous character, in the hit series Ishqbaaaz.

Before becoming an actress, Navina worked as a model and appeared in several TV commercials. She also featured in music videos.

Apart from serials, she has appeared in episodic shows like CID and Savdhaan India. Some of her other popular shows are Sumit Sambhal Lega, Badi Door Se Aaye Hai, Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, Baal Veer, Kumkum Bhagya, Jeannie Aur Juju, Sapna Babul Ka Bidaai, and Yahaaan Main Ghar Ghar Kheli.

Navina got married to Karran Jeet in 2017. They have a daughter together. However, they got separated in 2024. The actress occasionally shares glimpses of her family life on social media.

Over the past couple of years, Navina has been more selective with her acting projects and has focused a lot on her personal life, especially motherhood.

Sajid Khan was also accused by these women -

Sajid's name had cropped up in the 2018 #MeToo movement in India. From 2018 to 2020, several women including big names from the film industry, had accused Sajid of touching them inappropriately, asking them to strip for roles in his films, and physically and mentally harassing them.

It all started when Saloni Chopra, who worked with Sajid in 2011, put up a post in 2018 claiming that the filmmaker had asked her if she masturbates and "how many times a day".

Saloni's post opened a can of worms for Sajid with multiple women from various fields coming to the forth and sharing their trauma. Actress Rachel White, who starred in the film 'Ungli', shared that the filmmaker had once asked her to "seduce him in 5 minutes" to get a role in a film.

Aspiring actress Simran Suri claimed that Sajid wanted to cast her in 'Himmatwala' for which he had called her to his house. He then asked her to strip and even tried to pull her top when she refused.

Days later, journalist Karishma Upadhyay shared a horrifying encounter with Sajid when he allegedly flashed at her during an interview and "forced his tongue down her throat", before she could push him and run away.

Then, actress Mandana Karimi revealed that Sajid asked her to "take off her clothes" during a casting meeting at his place and told her that if he likes what he sees, she will get a role in 'Humshakals'.

Days after her father's demise, when Sherlyn Chopra visited Sajid for work, the filmmaker allegedly flashed his private parts at her and even went on to ask her to "feel it".

In 2020, model Dimple Paul put up a post on social media stating how Sajid "spoke dirty" to her when she was just 17, asked her to strip naked, and even tried to touch her, all under the pretext of getting her a role in 'Housefull'.

It did not end there, but in the documentary titled 'Death in Bollywood', Jiah Khan's sister Karishma claimed that Sajid had asked the late actress to "take off top and bra" during a script reading session.

While Sajid never addressed any of the accusations levelled against him, he stayed away from the public eye for quite some time, until recently, when he announced his return to filmmaking with the film '100%'.

'100%' stars John Abraham, Shehnaaz Gill, Riteish Deshmukh and Nora Fatehi in lead roles.
