Host and Dost Sajid Khan began his journey in the entertainment industry as a host. He went on to make a mark for himself as a filmmaker with movies like Darna Zaroori Hai, Heyy Babyy and Housefull.

Failed 10th three times
Sajid was just 6 years old when his parents separated. His filmmaker father Kamran Khan was a big filmmaker but lost all his money and became an alcoholic. By the time Sajid turned 14, his father’s liver gave up and he passed away in front of him and Farah. All this affected Sajid, who was just a teenager, and he ended up failing 10th standard 3 times.Went to jail at 14
The filmmaker went to a ‘rich kids school’, where he felt he did not belong. At the age of 10, he turned to crime and became a part of a gang of boys from his chawl. He began stealing and was caught at the age of 14 when he robbed a pair of Nike shoes and a Nikon camera from his aunt Honey Irani’s house. When he owned up, he was taken to the Santa Cruz police station.Dated Jacqueline Fernandez
The filmmaker was in a relationship with Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline for two long years. They began dating in 2011 while shooting for Housefull 2 and there was news about them tying the knot. But the couple parted ways in 2013. Things apparently ‘started becoming sour’ between them.Accused of sexual harassment by 9 women
