Sandhya
shared
a
lengthy
note
and
captioned
it
as,
"In
truth
&
solidarity.
I'm
with
you
@vintananda
#metoo." The
note
read,
"At
the
very
start
of
my
career,
I
was
shooting
a
telefilm
for
zee
in
Kodaikanal.
I
was
the
lead.
And
very
excited.
Alok
Nath
was
my
on-screen
father
and
Reema
Lagoo
my
mother.
Alok
Nath
was
very
impressed
with
me
and
called
me
"God's
own
child"
and
openly
praised
me
every
day.
I
was
over
the
moon.
I
was
a
huge
fan
of
this
wonderful
Babuji..
I
felt
so
fortunate
happy
and
confident."

How
Alok
Made
Sandhya
Nervous
&
Uncomfortable?
"Till
one
night
after
an
early
pack
up.
The
cast
went
out
for
dinner.
At
dinner
he
got
progressively
drunk
and
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."

Sandhya
Writes…
"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.
Few
minutes
after
he
left
there
was
a
knock
on
my
door
I
opened
the
door
thinking
it
was
him
again

Inebriated
Alok
Nath
Lunged
At
Her
"It
was
an
inebriated
Alok
Nath
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.
Fortunately,
my
DoP
was
there
making
a
call
from
the
reception
..."

Alok
Tried
To
Grab
Her
"He
came
back
to
my
room
what
ensued
was
traumatic
because
a
belligerent
Alok
Nath
refused
to
leave..
kept
screaming
shouting
threatening
abusing
trying
to
grab
me..
but
at
some
point
we
managed
to
make
him
leave.
The
hairdresser
was
called
and
made
to
sleep
in
my
room
I
was
so
shaken
up."

It
Was
Difficult
For
Sandhya
To
Shoot
With
Alok!
"In
a
few
hours
I
had
scenes
with
Bauji,
in
one
I
had
to
sit
on
his
lap
and
cry.
I
still
feel
nauseous
when
i
think
of
it.
It
didn't
stop
there
..
every
evening
he
would
drink
and
every
night
calls
were
made
to
my
room.
I
dreaded
the
ring..
I
had
to
keep
it
off
the
hook
most
of
the
times.
But
then
he
would
come
calling.
It
was
a
catch
22
situation.
I
had
the
hairdresser
moved
in
to
my
room
permanently.
I
was
a
nervous
wreck."

Alok
Cried
&
Apologised
"Few
days
later
I
got
very
sick
&
was
laid
up
and
couldn't
shoot.
The
stress
had
broken
me.
He
continued
to
traumatise
me
with
calls.
And
knocks.
The
hairdresser
would
answer.
One
day
when
he
landed
up
at
the
door
and
cried
and
begged
to
be
allowed
in
to
sodas
to
me
to
apologise..
I
couldn't
take
it
anymore
I
told
her
to
accompany
him
in..."

(sic)
He
Said
He
Had
Learnt
His
Lesson
"He
pulled
a
chair
next
to
my
bed
and
howled.
Said
he
was
an
alcoholic
and
that
he
had
destroyed
everything
his
family
his
marriage
everything's
and
I
was
like
his
daughter
and
he
respected
me
and
that
he
was
very
sorry.
He
says
he
had
learnt
his
lesson
and
that
he
would
go
to
therapy
and
change
it
all..."

Sandhya
Broke
Her
Silence
"I
finally
broke
my
silence
I
screamed
shouted
cried
and
it
was
done.
I
believed
him.
I
had
to.
He
left.
He
got
away.
I
don't
know
how
I
shot
with
him
for
the
remaining
days
and
weeks.
I'm
grateful
to
my
co-actors
,
my
DOP
&
especially
the
late
Reema
lagoo
for
finally
taking
him
on
&
protecting
me
like
a
mother
from
then
on."

(sic)
The
Damage
Was
Done
"But
it
was
too
late.
The
damage
was
done.
A
very
disillusioned,
disgraced
&
unsure
me
returned
home.
He
went
on
to
return
to
Bombay
and
tell
people
I
was
difficult
and
arrogant.
All
apologies
forgotten.
He
was
a
popular
man
I
was
a
newbie.
He
laid
the
foundation
others
like
him
built
on.
All
those
who
heard
'No'.
Attitude
my
biggest
crime.
The
deal
breaker."

“I
Stand
By
Vinita!”
"Mr.
Alok
Nath.
You
know
this
to
be
true.
As
do
few
others.
I
had
to
forgive
you
for
myself
then
and
for
my
sanity
but
I
will
never
forgive
you
for
what
you
did
with
Vinta.
Whom
I
have
always
respected
and
loved.
I
stand
by
you
Vinita.
What
I
went
through
is
nothing
compared
to
you.
I'm
so
sorry.
More
power
to
you."
