Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actress Jennifer Mistry, who portrayed the role of Roshan Sodi in the sitcom, had sought the help of media to raise her voice against the harassment she suffered in the hands of the producers of the show. While the actress continued her legal battle against them, now in a recent social media post, Mistry has revealed that she emerged victorious in it and has won the sexual harassment case against producer Asit Modi.
Jennifer Mistry went on to pen a heartfelt note expressing her gratitude towards everyone including the legal system for extending support to her. “I declare VICTORY in my sexual harassment case… Asit Modi has been proven guilty in the case… Thank you God! I made it happen with the help of my lawyer @ammitt_khare, support of my hubby @bobbybansiwal & my close friends & family & my fans who truly believed that I wasn’t playing woman card or doing cheap publicity or fabricating things… I was just standing firm on faith ALL ALONE & speaking d truth, But it’s not over yet. Just letting Asit Modi pay my amount due (which he hasn’t yet paid even after 40 days of passing the verdict in Feb), (he has withheld my payment for past 1 year ) and a compensation of 5 lacs is NOTHING,” she wrote in the note which was shared along with a video on her social media handle.
She continued, “I have gone through extreme mental trauma, loss of employment & friends, loss of prestige, medical bills, expenses for the case, etc, all this leaving my 10 year old daughter at home... And what about giving verdict for Sohil Ramani & Jatin Bajaj? No punishment at all to all 3 of them, so I am not satisfied completely... Still thankful to the Government of Maharashtra for at least looking into the case unlike the police authorities,but I won't sit quiet.”
“They proved Asit Modi guilty of sexual harassment, which I knew from the beginning, what is new in it??? what about the trauma I went through in last 1 year, on the contrary the culprits are roaming freely posing as innocent.The verdict does not even ask Mr Modi, Sohil & Jatin to even apologize to me, as i was clearly abused while working in Tmkoc & d compensation asked to pay is menial, this I say because, 5 lakhs is a petty amount for Mr Modi, by such amount, I think people like Mr Modi will get inspired to committ such crimes, as they can get away with bigger crimes by just paying off petty amounts. I am not accepting the verdict and decide to go further by just not taking my money. Also a woman's self respect cannot be quantified in the manner the verdict & compensation was declared. This Victory of mine might encourage females to come forward if they are being treated in the wrong way but this is the bigger fight for justice.But I wonder if the fighting for justice is so difficult for a known person like me, then what would be happening to the laywoman,” she concluded and signed off with “Satyamev jayate”.
