Madhuri Dixit on sexual harassment claims against Alok Nath: Always shocking when something like this comes out

Madhuri Dixit says she was shocked to read names of Alok Nath and filmmaker Soumik Sen , people she has previously worked with, in the #MeToo movement as she was not privy to this side of their personalities.

Sen, who directed Madhuri in Gulaab Gang, has been accused of inappropriate behaviour by three women. [caption id=“attachment_4241009” align=“alignnone” width=“825”] Madhuri Dixit-Nene.
