Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actor who accused show’s producer of sexual harassment lashes out at co-actor Mandar Chandwadkar: ‘He’s a male too’

“He (Mandar) is a male too. What will he say when he himself is a male? He will do whatever Asit Kumarr Modi will tell him. Anything. The co-star who called me yesterday also abused Mandar for over 45 minutes. ‘Sa**a yeh kaise palat gaya’ (How did he change sides?)I told him, ‘I do not care’. Let him do whatever he wants to do. I do not care,” the actress told News18.com.

After the actress accused Modi of sexual and mental harassment, he called the allegations against him ‘baseless’. He said in a statement, “We will take legal action as she is trying to defame me and the show both. Since we terminated her services, she is making these baseless allegations.”

The Mumbai police has already started investigating the matter and an FIR will be registered after those named in the complaint will record their statements.

The actress also shared that her other co-stars also contacted her and asked her to not file the complaint as it would affect the livelihood of those working on Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. However, she told them, “Whatever is happening is because of the producer’s action.”

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, which started airing in 2008, is one of the longest-running sitcoms in Indian television history.
