Actor
Accused of: Several Bollywood actresses have levelled allegations of harassment against Alok Nath after writer-producer Vinta Nanda claimed that she was sexually violated by the actor around 19 years ago. Well-known actors such as Sandhya Mridul and Amyra Dastur, singer Sona Mohapatra and Nath's co-star Navneet Nishan came out about their unsavoury harassment experiences.
His defence: Alok Nath has dismissed all the allegations levelled against him. He says it is useless to react to these allegations since "in today’s world, whatever a woman says, only that will be considered.”
Current status: Alok Nath has moved a civil suit against writer-director Vinta Nanda, seeking a public apology and Re 1 as damages. Nanda has lodged an official complaint against Nath at Oshiwara Police Station in Mumbai. Actor Alok Nath has refused to respond to a notice issued to him by the Indian Film and Television Directors Association (IFTDA) over the harassment allegations. IFTDA has now decided to take strong action against the actor. In his response to the show-cause notice by CINTAA (Cine And TV Artistes' Association), Alok Nath has denied all the allegations against him.
