He even beats Anupam Kher because Anupam Kher can carry off roles of a father, a comedian(in films like Khosla ka Ghosla not in films like Mohabbatein - there he carries of the role of a ham to perfection) and a villain with equal ease.But apart from Bol Radha Bol(*SPOILER ALERT*where he plays the villain) I haven't seen Alok Nath deviating from his character in a single film(correct me if I am wrong here).But why I respect Alok Nath most is because of a scene in Hum Aapke Hai Kaun ... The scene is the one where he meets Anupam Kher for the first time in the movie in Ramtek(or some other place of worship,not sure) to discuss the marriage of Mohnish Behl. While they are discussing stuff and remembering old days of college a FLY comes and sits on the forehead of Alok Nath and unlike Barrack Obama (who would rather kill-and-show (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYdSzAo1do4) ),Alok Nath leaves the fly undisturbed.This has to be the one scene in Bollywood which PETA will approve.Watch the movie to confirm the truthfulness of this act of non-violence from one of the most "natural" father-figure of Indian film industry. I think Alok Nath's non-violent nature also influenced the editors of the film. I think Alok Nath makes the perfect father figure in post 90s cinema.
