The actress Jennifer Mistry who used to play the character of Mrs. Roshan Sodhi in the serial Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has won the legal battle against the producer of the show, Asit Kumarr Modi and the court has not only asked him to pay Jennifer Mistry’s outstanding amount but also additional Rs. 5 lakh as compensation.
Talking to media persons, Jennifer Mistry revealed that though the verdict was out on 15 Feb 2024, she was asked not to make it public. She said, “Asit Kumarr Modi has been ordered to pay me my due amount and an additional compensation for deliberately withholding my payment, totalling around Rs 25-30 lakh. An extra Rs 5 lakh is imposed on Mr Modi for harassment. The verdict was out on 15th Feb 2024, but I was asked not to share it in the media.”
While she is happy that the verdict is in her favor, she is also a little disappointed as she feels that she hasn’t got complete justice as Project Head Sohail Ramani and executive producer Jatin Bajaj have not been punished and her dues are still pending.
She added “This verdict clears that my case was not fabricated, and I wasn’t seeking cheap publicity. While I’m glad my harassment was recognized, I don’t feel I’ve received proper justice yet.”
Let’s see what Asit Kumarr Modi will do now.
