It was only yesterday that Jennifer Mistry, who played the role of Mrs Roshan Sodhi in the popular sitcom, accused Modi of sexual harassment. She lodged a complaint against Asit Modi, project head Sohail Ramani and executive producer Jatin Bajaj for alleged sexual harassment at workplace. The actress also revealed that she has quit the show. “Asit Modi has made sexual advances towards me many times in the past. Initially, I ignored all his statements for fear of losing my job. But enough is enough now I won’t take it anymore,” Jennifer told E-Times.
Later Asit Modi reacted to Jennifer’s allegations. In his official statement, Modi termed these allegations as ‘baseless’ and said that he would take legal action against the actress. “We will take legal action as she is trying to defame both me and the show. Since we have terminated her services, she is making baseless allegations.
The show’s directorial team comprising Harshad Joshi, Rishi Dave and Armaan also claimed that Jennifer was not focusing on her work. Project heads Sohil Ramani and Jatin Bajaj also responded to the allegations and claimed that the contract was terminated due to Jennifer’s ‘bad behavior and indiscipline’.
