She said that the makers sent her a notice on March 24 stating that they were losing money because of her leaving the shoot. She told that when she reverted them back by alleging sexual harassment, they said that she was trying to extort money.
Talking to Hindustan Times, Sohain Ramani alleged that Jennifer was lying and blackmailing them for ‘cheap publicity’. He also asked why did she not complain to the show’s women’s committee.
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is one of the most loved sitcom shows in India but has been facing a lot of problems after some of the lead actors left the show. Shailesh Lodha, who played the titular character left the show and recently filed a complaint against the makers for not paying his pending dues.
Disha Vakani, who played Daya Jethalal Gada, was one of the most loved actors from the show and her leaving TMKOC was a huge setback for the makers.
