Taarak Mehta Ka Ootah Chashmah actor Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal aka Roshan Kaur Sodhi accused the makers (including Asit Kumar Modi) of the popular Television sitcom of sexual harassment at workplace. Though the actor revealed the same in a recent interview, now, she finally broke her silence about the same on her social media space.
On Friday, Jennifer Mistry headed to her Instagram handle and shared a video in which she warned the makers. She recited a couplet, stating, "Chuppi ko meri kamzori mat samjhna, main chup thi kyunki saleeka hai mujh mein. Khuda gawah hai ki sach kya hai. Yaad rakh, uske ghar mein koi fark nahi tujhmein ya mujhme." (Don't take my silence for weakness, I was quite because I wanted to. God knows what is the truth, don't forget we are equal in front of him.)

On Thursday, Jennifer revealed the same to E-Times and statedaled 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."
