Controversies

In October 2018, amidst India's Me too movement, Alok Nath was accused of rape by TV producer Vinta Nanda who worked with him in the TV show Tara in the mid-90s.¹⁵¹⁶ Alok Nath denied the allegation.¹⁷ Subsequently, actresses Renuka Shahane, Himani Shivpuri, Sandhya Mridul, Deepika Amin, and an anonymous Hum Saath-Saath Hain crew member have either admitted to knowing about Nath's predatory behaviour or written about instances where they themselves have been assaulted by him.^18192021

On 15 October 2018, Nath sued Nanda for defamation, asking for a written apology and Re 1 as compensation. He has filed the case jointly with his wife Ashu Nath.²²

On 17 October 2018, Nanda registered a complaint against Nath in Mumbai Oshiwara Police Station.²³²⁴

On 1 March 2019, Mumbai Mirror reported that Alok Nath portrayed a judge in a movie based on the Me Too movement.²⁵

On 11 August 2019, India Today reported that rape case against Alok Nath by Vinta Nanda has been closed due to lack of evidence.²⁶
