In a decision that shows that the #MeToo movement has sparked off a much-needed change, the Indian Films & Television Directors' Association (IFTDA) announced a one-year suspension for Sajid Khan. The filmmaker was accused of sexual harassment by actor Rachel White, assistant director Saloni Chopra and a journalist, among others.

Speaking to mid-day, Ashoke Pandit, president of IFTDA, asserted that the organisation will now train its sight on the other case at hand - that against actor Alok Nath.
