Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal quits Taarak Mehta
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah entertainer Jennifer Mistry, who has been assuming the part of Mrs. Roshan Sodhi throughout the previous 15 years, has stopped the show.

Shailesh Lodha, who played Mr. Mehta on Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, previously filed a case against Asit Modi for non-payment of dues, and a new complaint has been filed against the producers. Additionally, according to the report, Jennifer stopped shooting for the show two months ago and took her last shot on March 7.
Jennifer Mistry responded, “Yes, I’ve left the show.” It is appropriate that I recorded my final Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah episode on March 6 of this year. I was humiliated and insulted by Mr. Sohil Ramani and the other executive producer, Jatin Bajaj, and had to leave the sets.”
She added, “It was Walk 7, my marriage commemoration, and Holi when the episode occurred. Since my daughter is really looking forward to Holi, I had already let her know that I wanted a half day. I was approached to get off the sets multiple times by Sohail Ramani, and the chief maker attempted to stop my vehicle by remaining behind it and not permitting me to leave the sets. They told me that I had worked on the show for 15 years and that they couldn’t stop me, and Sohil threatened me as I left. I have accused Asit Kumar Modi, Sohail Ramani, and Jatin Bajaj of sexual harassment.
Jennifer Mistry claims a case of sexual harassment
Jennifer revealed that, unlike with all of the movie actors, the producers did not arrange for her. She said that the spot is ‘male chauvinistic.” “That’s when I retaliated, and Sohail spoke to me rudely, asking me to leave almost four times,” she stated. The inventive Jatin then attempted to halt my vehicle. The CCTV footage contains all of this information. This occurred on Walk 7. I figured they would call me. However, on Walk 24, Sohil sent me a notification that I left the shoot and they were losing cash. Dante’s ultimate goal was Kotwal. They needed to startle me.”

More about the harassment
“On April 4, I sent them a WhatsApp message in which I stated that I had been the target of sexual harassment. I also sent them a draught, and they contacted me and informed me that I was attempting to extort money from them. That day, I decided I wanted an open apology. I sought the assistance of a legal counsellor. On April 8, I sent a notification to Asit Modi, Sohil Ramani, and Jatin Bajaj, and furthermore sent a library to all the public authority specialists. Although I have not received a response, she informed me, “I am certain they must be looking into it and investigating the matter.”
