Actor Shailesh Lodha is touted as one of the most versatile actors in the Television industry. Known for playing Taarak Mehta in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, the actor has not been on good terms with the makers of the popular sitcom. Lodha recently opened up about his current issues with producer Asit Kumar Modi.
In a conversation with AajTak, Shailesh Lodha said, "In this country, publishers wear diamond rings, and writers who want to have their books published must pay a fee. If those who profit from the talent of others begin to think of themselves as superior to the talented, then the talented should speak up. Perhaps I am one of those gifted individuals who has raised his voice."

He further added, "Doosron ki pratibhaon se apna naam karne vale logg, kisi pratibhashali vyakti se bade nahi ho sakte. Duniya ka koi publisher, lekhak se bada nahi ho sakta, koi producer kisi abhineta se bada nahi ho sakta, vo vyapari hai. Jab bhi koi vyapari mere kavi hone pe, mere abhineta hone par haavi hoga, tab tab jwalamukhi fatega." (A person who relies on others’ talent to earn fame cannot be bigger than those talented people. No publisher in this world is bigger than the writer, similarly, a producer cannot be bigger than an actor, they are businessmen. I will raise my voice whenever a businessman tries to overpower the writer or the actor in me)."
Earlier, there were reports that Shailesh Lodha had an altercation with the makers due to which he quit the show. The main reason behind it was the actor's alleged delayed payment for more than a year.
