'Taarak Mehta' actor accuses producer, 2 others of sexual harassment; showmakers call allegations 'baseless'

Mumbai, May 11 (PTI) “Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah” actor Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal on Thursday accused producer Asit Kumarr Modi and two others of sexual harassment, a charge they denied, claiming she was let go from the show due to misbehaviour.

Modi also said that he will take legal action against the actor for trying to defame him and the show.

Bansiwal, who plays the role of Roshan Sodhi on the longest-running Sab TV show, said she sent a formal letter to the concerned authorities, including the National Commission for Women (NCW) and Mumbai Police on April 8, accusing Modi, project head Sohail Ramani and executive producer Jatin Bajaj of sexual harassment and outraging the modesty of a woman.
