Farah Khan has issued a statement in response to the sexual harassment allegations against her brother, acclaimed filmmaker Sajid Khan.

Farah said she does not, in any way, support such conduct and if Sajid has indulged in an appropriate behaviour, "he has a lot to atone for."

She took to Twitter to share her thoughts. "This is a heartbreaking time for my family. We have to work through some very difficult issues. If my brother has behaved in this manner he has a lot to atone for. I don't in any way endorse this behavior and Stand in solidarity with any woman who has been hurt," wrote the 53-year-old.

Three women, namely actor Rachel White, assistant director Saloni Chopra and journalist Karishma Upadhyay, accused Sajid of sexual harassment and shared their heart-wrenching ordeals on their respective social media handles.

Following the allegations, Sajid has stepped down as the director of upcoming comedy-drama 'Housefull 4'.
