Vinta Nanda who was the writer-producer of the 1990’s show Tara, has accused Alok Nath who is known for his ‘sanskari’ image in many films of sexually violating her two decades ago. Vinta shared a post on Facebook in which she wrote that she has been waiting for 19 years for this moment. Vinta shared the post on Facebook on Monday in which she spoke about the “television star of that decade” who created problems for everybody on the sets of the show. While in the entire post, Nanda has addressed Alok Nath as “sanskari”, Nanda revealed to IANS later that it was the actor. Vinta said, “It is Alok Nath. I thought saying ‘sanskaari’ would do the needful.”
Here is what Vinta wrote!
