Jennifer played the character of Mrs Roshan Singh Sodi in the show.

She later even lashed out against her co-star Mandar Chandwadkar, who plays Atmaram Tukaram Bhide on the show and slammed him for supporting Asit Modi.

Jennifer reveals women in her society stopped talking to her

As per a new report by ETimes, Jennifer Mistry has now revealed that she wanted to leave the show around 2019, but she was not allowed to do so by the producers. She also said that the producers Asit and Sohael threatened to seize her payments. She claimed that they shouted at her saying, “Production is at the top and the artist is beneath everyone.” The actor shared that she has proof of this as well. The actor added that he is fighting this battle alone. She further added that 99.9 percent of the women in her housing society have stopped talking to her after the reports surfaced online. She said that she was surprised by their mentality, and called them ‘typical aunties’ of the society.

Earlier, responding to the allegations made by Jennifer, the project head of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah Sohil Ramani had spoken to Hindustan Times, and said that the production house terminated Jennifer’s contract three months ago. “She has been working with us for 15 years, shooting mein bohot saare utar chadhav hote hai (there are many ups and downs during a shoot). We have ignored her characteristics such as creating rifts among others, coming two hours late for shoot, creating misunderstandings. We have a lot of evidence against her,” he said.
