Sanskari Babuji aka Alok Nath faces some horrendous accusations in the #metoo movement’s heat.
Filmmaker, Vinta Nanda, who is best known for writing the famous 1990’s show “Tara”, shook whole of the film fraternity with her accusation of sexual harassment and rape over actor Alok Nath. Alok Nath is known for portraying “sanskaari” “father figure” on-screen, shook everyone due to the every contrasting roles played him.
Vinita Nanda told about her horrendous experience in a Facebook post, where she did not name the actor but recognised him as the most Sanskaari (Cultured) person in the film and television industry. She also said that his wife was her best friend and they had known each other over years. People took to Twitter in support of Nanda, where several people shared Nanda’s post including comedian Mallika Dua, Mini Mathur etc.
Vinita Nanda later said it was Alok Nath.
After talking to IANS, Nanda said, “It is Alok Nath. I thought saying ‘sanskaari’ would do the needful.” Alok Nath had been portraying the role of a stereotypical Indian father, a man of religious traditions and having morals in films and TV shows.
She accused that he had mixed something in her drink at a party at his house, then asked to drop her home. “I can remember more liquor being poured into my mouth and I remember being violated endlessly. When I woke up the next afternoon, I was in pain. I hadn’t just been raped, I was taken to my own house and had been brutalised”.
Nanda told why she kept mum over the incident for so long?
On why she opened up about the incident now after so many years, she said, “The only reason I’m telling this story now is because I don’t want that any girl should ever fear holding the truth back.”.
