Alok Nath Finally Breaks His Silence

Actor Alok Nath accused  of rape by  writer-director Vinta Nanda, has been given relief by the courts. He has been granted anticipatory bail.

For  the first time since the accusation  snowballed  into major scandal,Alok surfaced  from hiding to speak   .

Says Alok, “The honourable court and my lawyers have  advised me to keep  completely silent  for  now.In fact I’ve been quiet throughout. Maybe some words escaped my mouth in my state of angst. But  otherwise I’ve been lying absolutely low  for the last three months. It is not right  for me  to make any comment at  the  moment. But yes we (Alok and his team  of lawyers) got anticipatory bail, and we’re very grateful for that.Now, when  I am in a position to speak I will have a heart-to-heart with you.”

Alok does however  express his gratitude to his wife Ashu. “She has been  a pillar  of strength  for me. I am grateful  to God that in my journey she has been  my co-traveller throughout. She has been with me always. And  my truth is her truth, and that’s God’s truth. So I am grateful to God for   that.”

Alok says his next legal move would depend  on  the court order.  “I cannot preempt  anything right now. But one thing I can tell you. This  battle will reach its  logical conclusion, and the  truth, whatever  it is, will be revealed.”
