New Delhi: On Thursday, actor Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal, who played Mrs Roshan Sodi, in the TV show 'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah' (TMKOC), revealed that she quit the show and accused producer Asit Modi of alleged sexual harassment at the workplace. Apart from accusing Asit Modi, Jennifer also claimed that the show's project head Sohail Ramani and executive producer Jatin Bajaj behaved rudely with her. Asit Modi called all the allegations baseless and said he would take legal action against the actor.
In a conversation with Aaj Tak, Jennifer shared details of producer Asit Modi's alleged sexual advances.
“From the beginning, Asit ji used to say ‘you are looking very nice.’ He once asked me what do you drink to which I boldly said whiskey. After this, he repeatedly asked me to come and drink whiskey with him. Although it was jokingly, however, things changed in 2019 when our entire team went to Singapore. During the trip, Asit asked me to come and drink whiskey in his room. I was surprised to hear this from him. Then a day later he said, ‘you are looking very beautiful, I feel like holding and kissing you. Hearing this, I trembled in fear. I told two of my colleagues about this. One slammed Asit Modi while the other tried to protect me in front of him. Once Asit Modi said, ‘If you don't have a room partner at night, come and drink whiskey in my room. When things did not seem to go his way, he started giving me less screen space,” Jennifer told Aajtak.
Jennifer also took to her Instagram and shared a reel with a message directed to the makers. She said, "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 quiet because I wanted to. God knows what is the truth, don't forget we are equal in front of him.)”

Asit Modi has denied all the allegations and said that the makers sacked the actress from the show , "This is just a fake and baseless allegation and it holds no truth. She is just trying to malign my image. This is my genuine reaction and I am not trying to make excuses or cover up. Everyone knows how I am in real life. We sacked her from the show and my team. My director and the team asked her to leave the show. We have all the proof and I am not talking just randomly. My production will soon send you all the proofs and documents,” he was quoted as saying by ETimes.
