Backstory: Vinta accused Alok of raping her 19 years ago
In a Facebook post, Vinta Nanda, writer/producer of 'Tara', accused Alok of raping her in an inebriated state. "I have faint memory after that. I can remember more liquor being poured into my mouth and I remember being violated endlessly," she wrote. Vinta also alleged that Alok even went after Navneet Nishan, the lead actress of 'Tara' who ended up slapping him.
Alok neither denied nor accepted the claims
While the revelation left the nation shocked, Alok Nath has neither denied or accepted the allegations. He said, "It (rape) must have happened, but someone else would have done it". If this was not all, Alok also went on to say that it's just an attempt to tarnish his image. He even claimed that he was the man behind Vinta's successful career.
