Responding to the s*xual harassment claims made by Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal, aka Roshan Singh Sodhi, against Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’s showrunner Asit Kumarr Modi, the direction team said, “She lacked basic discipline on the set and was not focusing on her work. We regularly had to complain to the production head about her behaviour. On her last day, she was abusive in front of the whole unit and left the set without finishing her shoot.”

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’s Project Heads, Sohil Ramani and Jatin Bajaj, also stated, “Jennifer Mistry regularly misbehaved on the show with the entire team. While moving out from the shoot, she rashly drove her car out at a 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.”
Breaking his silence on the matter, TMKOC’s producer Asit Kumarr Modi said, “We will take legal action as she is trying to defame me and the show both. Since we terminated her services, she is making these baseless allegations.”
