The actor added, “Everyone should be given a chance. You have to be with people and I know him (Sajid Khan) from a very long time. I know Farah ma’am from a very long time. Be it anyone, including my friend, if they have done something right or wrong, we stand by that person.”
While promoting their upcoming single, Tere Jism Se, Poonam Panday was asked about the outrage Sajid's participation received by Youtuber National Reporter. Replying to him, Pandey added, "Look we support all artists. I am an artist myself. Why shouldn’t we support any artiste? Whatever I am reading about Sajid sir, it appears a lot of people are upset with him. I understand that pain. I’m sorry that these things happened to those women. But, if possible, give him one chance. Forgive him once. He is going through a lot.”
