Sohail Khan Reveals He Was Sexually Harassed as a Child
Mumbai–Actor Sohail Khan has revealed that he was sexually harassed as a child and remained silent about the experience for years because he felt embarrassed and ashamed.
Speaking on an episode of “Alliance,” Khan discussed the incident while explaining why he strongly opposes bullying and ragging. He said the experience has shaped how he raises his sons, Nirvaan and Yohan.
“I am strongly against ragging. I have always told Yohan and Nirvaan, ‘Beta, don’t feel shy or embarrassed to come and tell me if someone is bullying you,’ because I have experienced this myself,” Khan said.
“In fact, I was sexually harassed by someone when I was young, and I kept it to myself for years,” he added.
Khan said he finally told his father about the incident after reaching adulthood. Although he knew it was not his fault, he said the shame he felt as a child prevented him from speaking about it earlier.
He now regularly encourages his children to share any experiences involving bullying, discomfort or inappropriate behavior.
Khan also recently reflected on his separation from Seema Sajdeh, saying his behavior during a difficult period in his career contributed to the breakdown of their marriage.

“The focus should remain on his message, his health, and finding a meaningful resolution,” she wrote.
