The long-running television serial Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has had substantial turbulence throughout its duration due to being involved in numerous scandals. The program has had its fair share of issues in recent years, from controversial remarks made by Munmun Dutta and Dilip Joshi to serious accusations made by Shailesh Lodha and Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal.

Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal, who plays Mrs. Roshan Singh Sodhi in the show, made significant accusations against the show’s creator in response to Shailesh Lodha’s legal action against producer Asit Kumarr Modi for unpaid dues. Bansiwal filed a complaint alleging sexual harassment at work against producer Modi, Project Head Sohail Ramani, and Executive Producer Jatin Bajaj.
The actress stopped filming on the show two months ago, according to insiders close to the project. Her last episode was taped on March 7, according to the sources, and she allegedly fled the set after receiving obscenities from Sohail and executive producer Jatin Bajaj. The actress responded, “Yes, I have quit the show when questioned about leaving the show. It is true that on March 6 of this year, I shot the final episode of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. I was humiliated and insulted by Mr. Sohil Ramani and the other executive producer, Jatin Bajaj, thus I was forced to leave the sets.
Jennifer added that she anticipated hearing from the show’s producers following the incident. On March 24, nevertheless, Sohil sent her a legal notice accusing her of quitting the shoot and causing losses. The seasoned actress revealed that the filmmakers even made intimidation attempts. When Jennifer responded to them via WhatsApp on April 4, she was thereafter the target of additional sexual harassment.
Shailesh Lodha has made the decision to take legal action, according to recent sources and insider information. According to reports, the actor started legal action against Asit Kumarr Modi’s production business and lodged a complaint against the producer in March. Shailesh Lodha filed a corporate insolvency resolution under section 9 with the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). Asit’s inability to meet his financial obligations and pay off his debts led to this action being taken.
