ALOK NATH, BEST KNOWN FOR PLAYING A SERIES OF 'BABUJIS,' TWEETED A PHOTO OF HIMSELF WITH HIS DAUGHTER BUT ALMOST INSTANTLY UNDID IT BY DESCRIBING KAVITA KRISHNAN AS A 'BITCH' AND CALLING FOR HER TO BE 'JAILED'

Actor Alok Nath's 'sanskaari' credentials are being questioned after he directed an abusive tweet, now deleted, at activist Kavita Krishnan's criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the #SelfieWithDaughter hashtag.

After PM Modi urged his audience to post pictures with their daughters on Sunday's episode
 of radio address Mann Ki Baat, social media was flooded with photos of parents with their
 daughters and #SelfieWithDaughter zoomed to top trend on Twitter. Among the critics was 

Ms Krishnan who wrote in a tweet: Careful before sharing #SelfieWithDaughter with #LameDuckPM. He has a record of stalking daughters

Alok Nath, best known for playing a series of 'babujis,' - flag-bearers of good values -
 on TV shows like Buniyaad and films like Hum Saath Saath Hain, tweeted a photo of 
himself with his daughter but almost instantly undid it by describing Kavita Krishnan as 
a 'bitch' and calling for her to be 'jailed.'

He removed the tweet later but it was too late. Twitter reacted with shock, calling him o
ut for this public shattering of the 'sanskaars' or traditional values he is famous fo

 espousing on screen:
