Jennifer Mistry Of Taarak Mehta Fame Accuses Asit Modi And Team Of Withholding Payments
Last Updated:
Jennifer Mistry accuses Taarak Mehta producer Asit Modi and team of withholding payments, reveals shocking details about toxic work culture and actor exits.
Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal has been in the headlines ever since she accused the producer of the show, Asit Kumar Modi, of harassment. Now, the actress has revealed some shocking details about the show and its actors. While discussing actors' exits from the show and how the makers have stopped paying their pending dues, Jennifer became emotional and revealed that the remaining actors are only working for the money.
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Jennifer shared, 'Bhavya ke alava sabne baat share ki mujse. Bhavya ka lekin humko malum hai." (Except for Bhavya, everyone shared their experiences with me.)
She added, 'Kyunki hum vaha the aur I think that was the first incident. Kyunki Bhavya 2017 ya 2018 mai gaya hai shayad. Toh usko jo bhi shayad movie karni thi aur jo bhi inka panga hua and paise rok liye in logon ne." (We know about Bhavya's situation because we were present during the incident, which I think was the first of its kind. Bhavya must have left in 2017 or 2018. So whatever movie project he had, there seems to have been a conflict that led to the withholding of payments.)
Further, she spoke about how the makers and Asit Modi didn't pay the dues of many, including Shailesh Lodha, Raj Anadkat, Neha Mehta, and others.
Jennifer Mistry on Disha Vakani's Exit
Jennifer further shared that she had begged Asit and his team not to replace her when she was pregnant, but they didn't listen to her. And now, when they are asking Disha to return, she isn't. When asked if a toxic culture made Disha quit the show, Jennifer revealed, 'Usko seedhi chadhna mana tha toh uske liye stretcher jaisa tha, uspe bitha ke upar le jaate the. Kyunki upar shoot karna rehta tha kisi ek interior mein." (She was not allowed to climb stairs. There was a stretcher-like thing, and she was made to sit on that, and then she was taken upstairs whenever they wanted to shoot in an interior.)
