In a new twist to the ongoing controversy around ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’ (TMKOC), actress Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal has come forward in support of Palak Sidhwani, who recently accused the show’s producers of mental harassment and threats. Palak, who gained popularity as Sonu Bhide, is facing legal action from the production team after expressing her desire to leave the show.
Jennifer, known for her role as Mrs. Roshan Singh Sodhi in the same show, spoke to Times Now, where she revealed that Palak’s experience is not unique. According to Jennifer, the production team has made life difficult for many actors who wish to quit the series.
TMKOC Producers Are Creating Issues for Palak
Jennifer did not hold back while speaking about the troubles Palak is facing. She referred to the production team’s behavior as “chaotic” and said they make it difficult for anyone who wants to leave the show peacefully. Reflecting on her own experiences, Jennifer labeled the working environment on TMKOC as a “jail” for actors who are stuck in similar situations.
Jennifer Backs Palak, Confirms Payment Issues
Expressing empathy for Palak, Jennifer described her as a “lovely person” and revealed that Palak might be under a lot of stress due to unpaid dues. Jennifer also added that she hasn’t received her payments for over one and a half years, highlighting the ongoing issues related to payment delays for actors on the show.
Previous Allegations by TMKOC Actors
Jennifer’s comments come after a series of similar complaints from former cast members of TMKOC. She noted that actors like Raj Anadkat, Gurucharan Singh, and Shailesh Lodha had also faced difficulties while exiting the show. Many of them were subjected to the same tactics of legal notices and harassment, which prevented a smooth departure from the series.
Jennifer Says People Are Aware of TMKOC’s “Tricks”
Jennifer concluded by pointing out that the makers of TMKOC continue to use the same methods to create problems for actors like Palak. However, she said that the situation has changed, and more people are now aware of the tricks used by the production team. Jennifer strongly believes that the truth will eventually come to light as more actors come forward and speak up against the exploitation they have faced on the sets.
This isn’t the first time TMKOC producers have been accused of mistreating actors, and Jennifer’s support for Palak adds fuel to the growing controversy surrounding the popular show.
