Jennifer Mistry Sexual Harassment: TMKOC actress Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal popularly known as Mrs. Roshan Singh Sodhi from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has been working under the show since its beginning.
Recently Jennifer gave an interview to ETimes where she revealed that many times on the set she has to go through some mental harassment and Asit Kumarr Modi have many times tried to s*xually harass her.
Jennifer in the interview said, “Yes, I’ve left the show. It is right that I shot my last episode of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah on March 6 this year. I had to leave the sets as I was subjected to humiliation and insult at the hands of Mr. Sohil Ramani and the other executive producer Jatin Bajaj.”
Further in the interview, Jennifer revealed that the whole environment of TMKOC’s set is an extremely male chauvinistic place*.
She said, “They made adjustments for everyone except for me. I kept requesting them but they did not listen. They adjusted for all the male actors. It is an extremely male-chauvinistic place. That’s when I retaliated and Sohail spoke to me rudely asking me to get out almost four times. Then the creative person Jatin tried to stop my car. All this is recorded in the CCTV footage,” (Source ETimes).
On March 24 she got a notice stating that the production house is losing money since she has left the shoot.
“On April 4, I replied to them on WhatsApp that I was subjected to sexual harassment, I sent a draft and they reverted to me saying I was trying to extort money from them. I decided that day, I want a public apology. I took the help of a lawyer. On April 8th, I sent a notice to Asit Modi, Sohil Ramani, and Jatin Bajaj and also mailed and sent a registry to all the government authorities. I have not got any revert on the same but I am sure they must be looking into it and investigating the matter,” She said.
Further, Jennifer added that she knows that this show gave her everything in her life and she has been working in it since the beginning but she couldn’t tolerate any rude and mental harassment towards her she also said that every character is ‘Labor Bound’ in the show.
Then she also said that it happened to her many times even producer Asit Kumarr Modi has tried to sexually harass her but she didn’t give it attention because she was afraid to lose her job. She has filed a case against the maker and left the show on March 07, 2023.
