Actor Alok Nath has reacted to the accusations of rape against him that surfaced on Monday after a veteran television writer-producer mentioned her ordeal that took place nearly two decades ago.<\/p>\n
The writer-producer, Vinta Nanda did not name Alok Nath, but Twitter and Facebook users identified the actor, mentioned in Nanda\u2019s post as a \u201cSanskaari (cultured) actor\u201d, and the lead actor of the television series, Tara<\/em>.<\/p>\n On Tuesday, speaking to ABP News<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0Alok Nath said: \u201cNeither I am denying this nor do I 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.\u201d<\/p>\n He added that, \u201c\u2026We only have to hear women’s stand because they are considered weak.\u201d<\/p>\n While Alok Nath accepted that Nanda used to a friend, he said whatever success she had achieved was because of him. \u201cToday she said such a big thing. In a way, it was me who made her what she is. It is useless to react on allegations as in today\u2019s world whatever a woman says, only that will be considered. In such a situation, it would be wrong to say anything.\u201d<\/p>\n Vinta Nanda, in a post on Facebook, recalled the horror she faced almost two decades ago during the shooting of Tara<\/em> for television.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, film body Cine and TV Artistes\u2019 Association (CINTAA) has announced that Alok Nath will be showcaused why he should not be expelled from the film body. CINTAA official Sushant Singh tweeted<\/span> <\/a>that he would support Vinta Nanda and urged her to lodge a formal complaint.<\/p>\n
