Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC) producer Asit Kumar Modi recently reacted to the allegations of Palak Sindhwani. The actress accused the makers of the show that they had broken the exclusivity contracts due to which she left the show. She further alleged that she has been mentally harassed and also complained about non-payment issues. Now, Modi has reacted to it and stated that she is like his ‘daughter’. He further mentioned that he was hurt by all the allegations put across by Sindhwani.
In an interview with ETimes, Palak said “I feel emotional whenever an actor leaves my show because I see them as part of my family. It really hurt me when Palak left since I think of her like a daughter and have always cared for her. All the actors who have been part of Taarak and worked with me are special to me. Even if someone speaks against me, I don’t hold it against them. My goal is to create a show that spreads positivity and happiness, so I can’t let myself hold on to sadness or grudges.”
“As far as the Palak incident is concerned things are been dealt with legally. We have to maintain discipline on the sets. If you are already working with an organisation, will you be allowed to do other work also, no right? Similarly, we also have certain rules as we have 26 episodes to shoot every month. Everyone works on TMKOC with all their heart and happiness. When someone quits and makes such allegations that time I get hurt,” the producer added.
“Chodne ke pehle aap agar ye sab baat karo toh we can do something. (If these concerns are brought up before leaving, we can address them and find solutions),” he added.
“When you spend 5-10 years on a show, becoming like family and getting to know each other’s families, making such statements afterwards doesn’t feel right or appropriate,” Modi concluded.
