Jennifer Mistry On The FIR Filed Against Asit Modi
Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal, the complainant, spoke exclusively with Pinkvilla about her response to the FIR filed against Asit Modi, Sohail Ramani, and Jatin Bajaj. She said, “I was summoned to the police station last night, Monday, June 19. I arrived there at 7:30 PM and stayed till 12:30 AM, at which time the FIR was finally filed. The police have informed me that they will call me anytime they require any additional information in the future. Whatever I could have done, I have done; the law will take its course. The FIR was primarily filed because it had been stalled for several days, which is a big deal.”
What has happened?
Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal was the first to bring up the recent Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah scandal. She claims that Asit Kumar Modi, the show’s producer, had regularly made unwanted sexual approaches towards her. In addition, Jennifer made severe accusations against Jatin and Sohail for their actions when she was a cast member of the show.
Later, Monika Bhadoriya, Priya Ahuja, and Malav Rajda all spoke up to discuss their impressions of the show’s working environment. These actors have leveled several grave accusations. They include non-payment of dues, actor harassment on set, the upkeep of a chauvinistic macho environment, and mental torture, among others.
