Jennifer Mistry accuses producers of harassment
Speaking to the Times of India, Jennifer Mistry confirmed that she has left the show in March this year. She said that she had to leave the sets after she was subjected to humiliation and insult at the hands of Mr Sohil Ramani and the other executive producer Jatin Bajaj.
She added, “It was March 7, my marriage anniversary and Holi when the incident happened. I had informed in advance that I want a half day since my daughter really looks forward to Holi. 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.”

She further revealed that the makers sent her notice to leave the show and said that they are losing money. “This was ultra char Kotwal ko Dante. They wanted to scare me,’ she said.

I decided that day, I want a public apology. I took the help of a lawyer. On April 8th, I sent a notice to Asit Modi, Sohil Ramani and Jatin Bajaj and also mailed and sent a registry to all the government authorities. I have not got any revert on the same but I am sure they must be looking into it and investigating the matter,” she informed.
Jennifer Mistry also claimed that every person working on Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is ‘bonded labour’. She added,”I have given my 15 years to the show and if I am treated like this on the set so just imagine what they must be doing to the new comers of junior artists.
