Alok Nath is probably the most stereotyped actor in the Hindi film industry. His sanskaari image has in fact given him incredible virality. Though he just turned 62, these mean memes will convince you that he was born a babuji!
But the actor has been pretty sporting about all the fun being poked at him. And what better way of turning a joke on its head than mocking yourself more than anyone else possibly can! Check out this video Alok Nath featured in so very willingly!
Oh and this one’s epic! This meme from one of his most popular family entertainers Hum Saath-Saath Hain (1999), not only takes a dig at our sanskaari babuji, but his entire parivar from the film.
Janamdin ki subhkamnayein babuji!
