Alok
Suffers
From
Dr
Jekyll-Mr
Hyde
Problem
For
Years!
Pooja
Bhatt
was
quoted
by
BT
as
saying,
"I
have
known
her
for
a
very
long
time
now,
so
if
she
is
accusing
Alok
Nath
of
sexually
assaulting
her,
there
is
no
reason
not
to
believe
her.
But
I
have
not
known
Alok
Nath,
I
only
did
one
film
with
him
where
he
played
my
father
and
I
hardly
had
any
scenes
with
him.
But
he
is
known
to
have
an
alcohol
problem,
and
though
I
have
not
witnessed
it
first-hand,
I
have
heard
that
he
suffers
from
a
Dr
Jekyll-Mr
Hyde
problem
for
years."
Pooja
Bhatt
Says…
"She
has
said
that
she
was
asked
to
keep
quiet
about
this
and
forget
what
happened.
Who
are
these
people
who
asked
her
to
keep
quiet?
I
feel
that
along
with
Alok
Nath,
all
those
people
who
have
asked
her
to
keep
quiet
are
equally
responsible,
because
they
help
such
predators
to
continue
doing
these
horrible
crimes."
“Nobody
Has
The
Right
To
Question
Vinita!”
"I
also
hear
people
asking
why
she
has
woken
up
now
to
tell
her
story.
I
feel
that
nobody
has
the
right
to
question
why
she
is
talking
about
the
incident
after
19
years.
We
have
all
been
survivors
of
sexual
assaults
-
when
somebody
grabbed
us
from
the
back,
or
punched
us
in
the
train
or
bottom-slapped
us.
If
a
woman
as
outspoken
as
her
is
talking
about
it
after
19
years,
I
think
that
somewhere,
we
are
going
wrong
in
not
teaching
our
children
that
they
should
talk
about
it."
“Every
Man
Is
Not
A
Sexual
Predator”
"Having
said
that,
I
also
want
to
reiterate
that
every
man
is
not
a
sexual
predator.
Also,
a
Twitter
or
Facebook
post
should
not
decide
whether
a
man
is
a
rapist
or
not.
There
should
be
a
proper
inquiry
on
this
matter
and
the
allegations
should
be
proved."
Mahesh
Bhatt
Says
Vinita
Never
Mentioned
About
This
For
Years!
On
the
other
hand,
Mahesh
Bhatt
was
quoted
by
PTI
as
saying,
"I
was
told
by
some
of
my
friends
from
Mumbai
that
one
of
my
colleagues,
Vinita
Nanda
has
gone...
But
she
has
never
mentioned
about
this
for
years.
But
why
did
she
not
mention?
because
was
she
also...
Though
she
has
been
a
crusader
for
causes
and
an
activist.
She
has
fought
with
me
on
various
platforms
and
she
has
worked
with
me."
“Because
You're
Speaking
After
20
Years,
Doesn't
Mean
Your
Claims
Are
Questionable”
He
further
added,
"One
of
my
colleagues
asked,
'Why
was
she
quiet?
Why
didn't
she
speak
for
so
many
years?'
Which
doesn't
mean
why
is
she
is
speaking
now?
Just
because
you're
speaking
after
20
years
doesn't
mean
your
claims
are
questionable."
“What
Was
It
That
Stopped
You
From
Doing
It?”
"But
it's
very
important
that
a
person
who
is
shrill
about
exhaling
all
the
other
wrongs
that
are
happening
and
chooses
to
keep
this...
You
ask
what
was
it
that
stopped
you
from
doing
it.
Not
that
I'm
dismissing
that
as
a
non-issue,
I'm
just
wanting
to
know."
