The problems of the makers of TV show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah are going to increase as on Tuesday (today), Mumbai Police has registered a case against producer Asit Kumarr Modi, operation head Sohail Ramani and executive producer Jatin Bajaj on the basis of the complaint of sexual harassment made by Jennifer Mistry, the actress who used to play the character of Mrs. Sodhi in the serial.
As per ANI, “Powai Police has registered a case against Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah producer Asit Modi, operation head Sohail Ramani, and executive producer Jatin Bajaj under sections 354 and 509 of the IPC based on a complaint by an actor of the show. No arrests have been made in this case so far: Mumbai Police”.
A Mumbai Police official states that they have received a written complaint by an actress and they have already recorded her statement. The official also states that Mumbai Police will soon call Asit Kumarr Modi for his statement in regard to this case.
Jennifer Mistry’s allegations of sexual harassment were refuted by Modi and other crew members and in return, they claimed that Jennifer misbehaved with everyone on the show. A statement was issued by the makers which read, “She (the actor) regularly misbehaved with the entire team on the show.
While moving out from the shoot, she rashly drove her car out at very high speed not caring for people in her way. She even damaged the set 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.”
Let’s hope the truth comes out soon.
