The makers of the popular comedy serial, ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’ (TMKOC), found itself in a soup recently. Actor Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal, who used to play the role of Mrs Roshan Sodhi, had accused Asit Kumar Modi of harassment. She🧸 had also filed a complaint against the producer for not having cleared her dues. A recent report reveals that the verdict in the case has been ruled in favour of the actor.
According to a report published by The Times Of India, the jury found Asit Kumar Modi guilty. The court asked the producer to clear her outstanding dues and also pay Rs 5 lakhs as compensation to the actor. Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal filed a sexual harassment case against Modi, Sohil Ramani, and Jatin Ramani last year. The producer was found guilty under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Ac⛎t of 2013.
Following this verdict, Bansiwal taꦓlked to ETimes and talked about how she felt after the verdict. She said, “The formation of the Local Complaints Committee led to a swift resolution, with Asit Kumar Modi found guilty within four months und💮er the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act of 2013. I am very sorry to say that the police authorities could not do this in the last year. The verdict is in my favour, confirming the allegations I made with strong evidence.”
💫She continued, “Despite proving Mr. Modi guilty of sexual harassment, no punishment has been given to all three accused…This verdict clears that my case was not fabricated, and I wasn't seeking cheap publicity. While I'm glad my harassment was recognized, I don't feel I've re🎉ceived proper justice yet.”
After Bansiwal came forward and filed a complaint, other ex-TMKOC actors li🔥ke Monika Bhadoriya, Priya Ahuja Rajda and former director Malav Rajda also talked about the mistreatment which was rampant on the sets.
