The makers of the comedy show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah are now synonymous with controversies. Palak Sindhwani, who played Sonu on the show, is the latest cast member to accuse them of alleged harassment and a toxic work environment. Amid this, Jennifer Mistry, who formerly played Roshan Sodhi in the show, has now supported Palak. For the unversed, Jennifer had accused the makers of alleged sexual and mental harassment, a toxic work environment, and non-payment of dues upon her exit. Not only this but she was also embroiled in an ugly legal battle with the showrunners.

Jennifer supported Palak amid the latter’s ongoing controversy with the makers. Speaking to Times Now, Jennifer Mistry said that whatever was happening to Palak had happened to many former cast members when they decided to leave the show. She said that the Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah makers never let their actors resign peacefully from the show and called the production house of the show a “jail for the artists.” She gave examples of actors like Raj Anadkat, Shailesh Lodha, and Gurucharan Singh, who also faced bitter experiences while leaving the show. Mistry added that Palak will handle the situation well and that everyone will know the reality of the production house and how they torture their artists.
On a concluding note, Jennifer Mistry also said that more people should speak up against the Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah makers. In March earlier this year, Jennifer also won her sexual harassment case against the show’s producer, Asit Modi. The latter was asked to pay her five lakhs as compensation.
