After Alok Nath‘s son was caught drunk driving a couple of days ago, Internet trolls obviously got over active about the irony of this decade. Sigh! We knew this was coming. The veteran actor is so synonymous with ‘sanskaar‘ that the label hangs around his neck like an albatross.
Check out a few sanskaari jokes made at Alok Nath’s expense after the incident:
Alonk Nath’s son booked for drunk driving.He is so sanskaari that he doesn’t know what is drink & drive.So couldn’t teach his son? #AlokNath

Alok Nath’s son was caught for drunken driving? What a shame. If he was so drunk, he should have gone home sans-car. #sorry

However, jokes apart, the veteran actor is no mood to take the incident lightly and spoke to the media about the same:
My son was present at the court and he accepted his mistake. Since it was his first offence, the court let him off with a strict warning. As a father, I told him that he shouldn’t have taken the wheels (when drunk) and instead, requested someone else, who hadn’t consumed alcohol, to drive. Everyone is the same before law and I do not like distinguishing between celebs and the aam junta, but one wrong move by a star kid and it immediately comes under the spotlight — even blown out of proportion, at times. He was lucky to be let off with a warning, but that doesn’t mean he can do what he wants. I need to pass on some sanskaar to my son. I am sure he will learn from his mistakes.
Way to go, babuji!
