Allegations Unravel: Asit Modi’s Controversial Behavior on Taarak Mehta

There have been serious accusations against Asit Kumarr Modi, the producer of the popular show “Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah.” First, Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal, who used to play the character of Female Jethalal, accused him of sexual harassment. She claimed that Asit made unwanted advances toward her multiple times and even tried to stop her from leaving the set. Jennifer shared a scary story from March 2019 when they were in Singapore for a shoot. Asit complimented her in a way that made her uncomfortable, saying her lips were “worth kissing” and inviting her to his room. She said her colleagues had to step in to help her and keep him away.

Jennifer also mentioned that when she was pregnant, they fired her from the show despite her wanting to stay and suggesting new story ideas. Moreover, she faced issues with unpaid salaries where her pay was cut for half days even after informing them in advance.

Monika Bhadoriya, who played Bawri on the show from 2013 to 2019, also spoke out about Asit’s bad behavior on set, describing it as “gundagardi” or bullying. She said Asit calls himself “God” and made her sign a contract to silence her. She, along with other actors like Raj Anadkat and Gurucharan Singh, mentioned that they are still waiting for their unpaid salaries.

Shailesh Lodha, another former actor, quit the show nearly a year ago and is still fighting with Asit over unpaid money. Shailesh mentioned that he didn’t chase Asit for a role, as he was already a well-known poet before joining the show. Although Shailesh shared a poem that many thought was a jab at Asit, he prefers to keep quiet about the ongoing case.
