Alok Nath stripped infront of me: Hum Saath Saath Hain crew member

Mumbai, Oct 10 (IBNS): After writer Vinta Nanda and Sandhya Mridul, another woman has shared her experience of facing alleged misbehavior at the hand of Bollywood actor Alok Nath.

This woman was reportedly working as an associate in Sooraj Barjatya's Hum Saath Saath Hain (1999) movie.

The woman, who did not reveal her identity, alleged that Alok Nath stripped in front of him.

"We were shooting for a night scene and I had taken a change of costumes to him. Once I handed him the clothes, he started stripping in front of me. I was taken aback, and tried to make my way out of the room as soon as possible. When I tried to run out, he grabbed my hand and manhandled me. I remember yanking my hand out of his grip and rushing out of the room," the woman told Mid Day.

Sandhya and Vinita had also earlier alleged that Nath had sexually harassed them.

Sandhya shared her story with a  caption on social media which read: "In truth & solidarity. I’m with you @vintananda #metoo."

Adding to the #MeToo campaign which started rolling in Bollywood, following the allegations of sexual harassment levelled against actor Nana Patekar by actress Tanushree Dutta, writer-director-producer Vinta Nanda has recounted her own experience of getting violated years ago.

Nanda took to social media to share her own experience, accusing actor Alok Nath, who is known for portraying "Sanskari" (traditional/honourable) roles, of rape.

In a long Facebook post, Nanda waited till the last line to refer to Alok indirectly by calling him "Sanskari".

Recounting her experience on the sets of Hindi serial Tara, Nanda said an "alcoholic" Alok had harassed the lead actress of the show.

She wrote in the post, "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.
