  1. #MeToo storm: Now Sandhya Mridul accuses Alok Nath of sexual harassment "He kept screaming shouting threatening abusing trying to grab me", said Sandhya Mridul.

  2. Actor Sandhya Mridul has opened up about her alleged sexual harassment at the hands of Alok Nath during the shooting of a telefilm, days after writer-producer Vinta Nanda accused him of rape. The actor, best known for her work in 1990-2000's TV shows such as "Banegi Apni Baat", "Swabhimaan" and "Koshish", shared details of her harrowing story in a lengthy Twitter note, saying the incident took place in the beginning of her career and shattered her confidence in the profession. Mridul said despite being the victim of Nath's overtures, it was she who suffered because he spread lies about her being a difficult person to work with. Nath essayed the role of her on-screen father, while late Reema Lagoo played her mother in the telefilm which was being shot in Kodaikanal.

"... He started insisting I sit with him and that I belonged to him and other stuff that I don't clearly remember but it made me very nervous and uncomfortable. My co-star realised what was happening and got me out of there. "We went back to the hotel without dinner. It was late and I was back in my room and the costume dada came to my room to give me my clothes for the next day as I had a very early call time." A few minutes later, an inebriated Nath knocked on her door. "I instinctively tried to shut the door but he pushed it and lunged at me, I stepped aside he went flying past me into the room... I fell back toward the bathroom door he lunged at me again screaming I want you you're mine... "I dodged again he went into the bathroom and I think I latched the loo door and ran out of my room down the corridor into the lobby." She said she found the DoP (director of photography) at the reception who accompanied her back to her room to find a "belligerent" Nath who refused to leave. Business Standard
