Alok Nath Lives in Isolation, Avoids Acting Offers After MeToo Allegations, Says FriendPreviousNext

Alok Nath, once known as Bollywood's 'Sanskari Babuji,' has largely withdrawn from public life following multiple sexual harassment allegations during the 2018-19 MeToo movement. His childhood friend Rajesh Puri revealed that Nath now lives in isolation, avoids acting offers, and rarely leaves his home. While acknowledging Nath's changed behavior and past struggles with alcohol, Puri described him as a kind person and noted his regret over the controversy's impact.
