TMKOC actress Jennifer Mistry has filed a complaint against producer Asit kumarr Modi for sexual harassment; ‘TMKOC team’ also hits back

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actress Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal who has been playing the role of Mrs. Roshan Sodhi for the last 15 years has quit the show and made shocking allegations of sexual harassment against the show’s producer Asit kumarr Modi. The actress quit the show a couple of months ago, giving her last shot in the first week of March 2023.

According to a report in TOI, Jennifer Mistry has filed a complaint against Modi, to project head Sohail Ramani, and executive producer Jatin Bajaj of sexual misconduct at the workplace.

Confirming the news Jennifer told ETimes, “Yes, I’ve left the show. It is right that I shot my last episode of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah on March 6 this year. I had to leave the sets as I was subjected to humiliation and insult at the hands of Mr. Sohil Ramani and the other executive producer, Jatin Bajaj.”

She further added, “It was March 7, my marriage anniversary and Holi when the incident happened. I was asked to get off the sets four times by Sohail Ramani and the executive producer tried to stop my car by standing behind it and was not allowing me to leave the sets. I told them I worked on the show for 15 years and they couldn’t forcefully stop me and while I was leaving Sohil threatened me. I have filed a case of sexual harassment against Asit Kumarr Modi, Sohail Ramani and Jatin Bajaj.”

Now, the TMKOC team members also hit back at her, calling her allegations false and baseless. “She regularly misbehaved on the show with the entire team. While moving out of the shoot, she rashly drove her car out at very high speed, not caring for people in her way. She even damaged the set’s property. We had to terminate her contract because of her bad behaviour and indiscipline during the shoot. During this incident, Asit Ji was in the USA. She is now trying to defame us and the show by making baseless allegations. We have already filed our complaint against these baseless allegations with the concerned authorities,” said project heads Sohil Ramani and Jatin Bajaj.

Ramani told Hindustan Times that Jennifer is doing this as a cheap publicity “We have removed her from the show three months ago and now she is desperate. She is unable to find work, so she is just doing it to blackmail us. It is cheap for publicity”.
