Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah producer has landed into a legal soup. Actor Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal, who plays the role of Mrs. Roshan Sodhi in the popular sitcom, has accused Modi of sexual harassment in the workplace. The actor has filed a complaint against Modi regarding the same.

Jennifer revealed the same to E-Times and revealed that her last working day was March 6. She 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."

"On the last day, March 7 it was Holi and my anniversary. I had informed in advance that I want a half day since my daughter really looks forward to that day. She waits for Holi. I even gave them an option that just gives me a two hours break, I’ll be back. They made adjustments for everyone except for me," she mentioned.

Jennifer further noted, "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."

Sharing details about the alleged sexual assault, Jennifer said, "Asit Modi has made sexual advances towards me many times in the past. Initially, I ignored all his statements because of fear of losing out on work. But it is enough now I won’t take it anymore."
