Last year, Monika Bhadoriya made shocking claims against Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah makers. While talking to News18, she said, “They do not value females. If a female actor is done with her shoot, they ask them to stay back. They try to finish the male actor’s shoot first. Come what may, they do not value females there.”
Talking about pay disparity, the ex-Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actress said, “Males are paid more. They pay us very less in comparison to male actors even if the screen time for both actors is same. They abuse females there. What else can you expect? I can never tell you what all they say. I can never use such dirty language.”
Monika Bhadoriya made another shocking claim that Munmun Dutta has left the sets several times after feeling tortured by the makers. “A lot of fights have happened with her (Munmun Dutta). She has also left the sets several times after arguments. She has not come to sets then for several days,” she quoted.
