ALOK NATH DESCRIBED A CRITIC OF PRIME MINISTER NARENDRA MODI AS A 'BITCH' AND CALLED FOR HER TO BE 'JAILED.' THE TWEET HAS SINCE BEEN DELETED BUT THE DAMAGE WAS DONE.
Alok Nath, the artist formerly known as Babuji, has left Twitter reeling after abandoning
the sanskaars he's famous for endorsing on screen to berate activist Kavita Krishnan
for criticizing prime Minister Narendra Modi. In one fell tweet, the actor's sanskaari image
was swiftly dismantled.
It all began with the hashtag #SelfieWithDaughter, which began trending after PM Modi in
his Sunday radio address urged people to post pictures of themselves with their daughters.
Among the PM's critics was Ms Krishnan, who tweeted:
In response, 58-year-old Alok Nath described Ms Krishnan as a 'bitch' and called for her
to be 'jailed.' The tweet has since deleted but the damage was done.
Twitter was horrified. Comedian Aditi Mittal asked, as many others did, that Mr Nath not
shatter the illusions so carefully constructed in Rajshri tearjerkers like Hum Aapke Hain Koun
and Hum Saath Saath Hain
What sanskaars, the uninitiated might ask. Here are five famous times that Babuji's sanskaars or
traditional values were employed by Bollywood to generate revenues.
In Hum Aapke Hain Koun, he was the adarsh father-in-law, welcoming his bahu with love and gifts:
In Hum Saath Saath Hain, his sanskaars were praised for having kept a family united:
He waxed eloquent about friendship in Maine Pyar Kiya:
In Taal, he was outraged that his daughter had been photographed by a strange man; then outraged by her falling in love; then outraged by the behavior of rich people:
In Pardes, it was his sanskaars that finally allowed true love to live happily ever after:
