Alok Nath had in October filed a civil suit in a court against Nanda in connection with her rape accusations against him and sought Re 1 as damages for allegedly defaming him.
"I have waited for this moment to come for 19 years," Nanda wrote in a long, heart-wrenching Facebook post, referring to the "predator in question" as "the actor par excellence who is known as the most 'sanskaari' (cultured) person in the film and television industry".
