Veteran actor Alok Nath, who faced multiple sexual harassment allegations during the #MeToo movement in 2018-19, largely stays away from public life, according to statements by his childhood friend Rajesh Puri. Puri says Nath has retreated from the industry and mostly remains confined to his home, avoiding work offers and social meetings. He adds that when invitations are extended, Nath avoids face-to-face contact, though he sometimes speaks warmly over the phone.
Puri also portrays the actor as deeply affected by the controversy, saying Nath regrets what happened and now does not want to face people. He further says Nath has shifted toward spirituality, including guidance from a guru, and does not attend events such as satsangs. In Puri’s account, Nath has changed in his personal habits as well, including stopping drinking, and has a more subdued, isolated routine since the allegations.
The outlets report Puri’s claims and do not provide new legal developments or verified statements from Nath. The allegations were reported during the #MeToo period.
