Actor Deepika Amin has claimed Alok Nath's reputation of an alcoholic and a harasser was common knowledge in the Hindi film and television industry.
Amin, who recently worked with Nath in "Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety", said several years ago the actor tried to "barge into her room" when they were shooting outdoors for a telefilm.
"Everyone in the industry knows that #AlokNath is an obnoxious drunkard who harasses women. Years ago on a telefilm outdoor shoot he tried to barge into my room. He slobbered over women, drunk and created a scene.
"The unit rallied around me and made sure I was safe. I was quite young but I still remember vividly how horrible he was," she wrote on Facebook Tuesday.
Amin, however, added that Nath came across "quiet and subdued" while filming "Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety".
"Maybe he has changed? Maybe because the director Luv Ranjan made it clear he wouldn't tolerate bad behaviour."
"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."
