Doomsday is near for veteran actor Alok Nath or so it seems. After the actor of accused of sexual abuse by director and scriptwriter, Vinta Nanda, Sandhya Mridul came ahead to voice her support for the same. Later another anonymous crew member of Hum Saath Saath Hai film revealed this terrible side of Alok Nath and today we have another actress joining this ugly bandwagon. Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety actress Deepika Amin took to her Twitter account to narrate the details of a horrific incident that she had to witness, thanks to her then co-star, Alok Nath. MeToo Movement: Woman Who Accused Abhijeet Bhattacharya of Sexual Harassment Alleges Misconduct by 3 More Men.
Deepika was a victim of Alok Nath's abusive behaviour year ago on an outdoor shoot. She was shocked to see him barging into her room, all drunk. He created a scene in front of the entire crew and they had to rally around her to ensure that she's safe. Though the actor was quite sober on the sets of SKTKS, probably because the industry is aware of his behaviour and director Luv Ranjan had warned him for it. Yet the previous incident refuses to leave her mind and brings back sad memories when she reads all the #MeToo stories. An Angry Swara Bhasker Lashes Out At Abhijeet Bhattacharya For Calling Women 'Fat' and 'Ugly.
Everyone in the industry knows that #AlokNath is an obnoxious drunkard who harasses women. Years ago on a telefilm outdoor shoot he tried to barge into my room. He slobbered over women, drunk and created a scene. The unit rallied around me and made sure I was safe. #metoo

Many Bollywood stars are supporting the #MeToo campaign and condemning the horrible incidents that women witnessed in their workplace. Yet there are celebs like Abhijeet Bhattacharya and Asrani who feel women are using this controversy to gain publicity and unwanted attention. Unless Bollywood unanimously comes out in support of the victims and fight the accused, there's no way this movement will ever see the right direction.
