Asit Kumarr Modi, Sohail Ramani, the chief of operations, and Jatin Bajaj, the executive producer, are accused of sexual harassment in the well-known sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. They have been accused of violating sections 354 and 509 of the IPC in response to a complaint filed by actress Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal, who played Mrs. Roshan Singh Sodhi in the serial, which has been on television for the past 14 years.
Jennifer Mistry Opens Up On FIR Against Producer Asit Modi
The complainant, Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal, exclusively discussed her reaction to the FIR filed against Asit Modi, Sohail Ramani, and Jatin Bajaj with Pinkvilla. The actress claimed, “I was required to appear at the police station last night, June 19. I went there around 7:30 PM and was there till 12:30 AM. Finally, the FIR was submitted. I’ve been told by the police that they will call me whenever they need more information. Everything I was able to do, I did; the law will now proceed as it must. It was stalled for several days, which is a significant concern, and that is why the FIR was filed.”
While Jennifer claims to be relieved, she is not happy
When asked about her views, Jennifer Mistry, 44, who was the first to criticize the makers of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, said, “I’m not happy in that sense since this is not what I wanted, but at least I’m relieved that action has been made now. I did not want this to happen, but since God and the universe are allowing it to, it had to. Let’s see, I’m still asking for everyone in. Why prolong the issue needlessly? What God has written for them is unknown to me. Even today, it would be sufficient if I received a statement from their end saying, “Humne jo bhi kiya, bhool-chook maaf” (We apologize for everything that has been done, whether on purpose or accidentally).”
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’s Controversy
For the uninitiated, Jennifer accused Asit Modi of sexual harassment. She claims Asit Modi invited her to his room for a drink after saying, “Your lips are very beautiful.” She further claimed that Jatin Bajaj and Sohail Ramani had tormented her mentally.
Following her, Monika Bhadoriya, Priya Ahuja, and former director Malav Rajda came forward to back Jennifer’s assertions.
