Alok Nath: A Jekyll and Hyde Personality?
In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Himani Shivpuri described Alok Nath as having a dual personality. “When he wasn’t drinking, he was very cultured,” she said, explaining that he had a reputation for being polite and professional on set. However, his behavior would shift drastically after a few drinks, turning him into a completely different person. “His personality was like Jekyll and Hyde,” Himani noted, adding that while she rarely experienced any problems with him directly, she had heard numerous stories from others who had witnessed his troubling behavior after he drank.
