We wonder if we can still call Alok Nath "sanskaari". After filmmaker and writer Vinta Nanda's rape and harassment allegations on the actor, we are all shocked to bits. Vinta shared a long post sharing her disturbing experience. Vinta shared her story back from the 90s when she was writing television's popular show "Tara" that featured Alok Nath. He also allegedly harassed the lead actress of the show, Navneet Nishan. Vinta's account stated, ".....He was an alcoholic, shameless and obnoxious but he was also the television star of that decade, so not only was he forgiven for all his bad behaviour but many of the guys would egg him on to be his worst. My lead female actor was being harassed by him. He would mess with her on the sets and everyone would be silent.
The accused Alok Nath has finally given his statement and he has rubbished all the claims by Vinta. "Neither I am denying this nor do I would agree with it. It (rape) must have happened, but someone else would have done it. Well, I do not want to talk much about it as for the matter if it has come out, it will be stretched," he spoke to a media house. He added, "At one time she used to be such a good friend... today she said such a big thing. In a way, it was me who made her what she is."
Alok Nath is trending all over Twitter as people are calling for prosecution. People are speaking in support of Vinta and they want her to get justice.
The Alok Nath story has shocked everyone to bits and Bollywood has started reacting to it. Like us, celebrities too are short of words to describe their feelings on this entire scene. Here is what some of them tweeted.
Amid the #MeToo Movement that began with actor Tanushree's allegations of harassment on co-star Nana Patekar. It was followed by Kangana Ranaut accusing Vikas Bahl of sexual harassment. Lately, Kangana's Queen co-star accused the director of the same. We are glad that women are getting that courage of sharing such horrifying stories in public after the #MeToo wave.
What happens next, we are here to see!
