'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah' continues to draw negative attention despite the departures of actors Shailesh Lodha, Neha Mehta, and Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal. Last year, Shailesh Lodha left after 14 years as Taarak Mehta. Lodha and producer Asit Kumarr Modi had delayed money and conflicts. Lodha has declared victory in the legal dispute. Modi disagrees and has spoken out.
Asit Kumarr Modi told in an interview news that Shailesh Lodha's claim of victory in the lawsuit is false. Lodha misrepresented the court's judgement as a mutual settlement, but Modi explained. Modi demanded a halt to Lodha's falsehoods, bewildered by his motives. "We urge him to cease the distortion of facts and put this matter to rest," Modi stated.
Modi resisted Lodha's payment. He said Lodha neglected to complete exit documentation. Modi denied charges of non-payment and said the argument was over procedures, not money. Modi said Lodha had ignored attempts to set up a meeting to address issues. Modi expressed dissatisfaction, citing Lodha's initial support during the show's launch and the lack of payment-related grievances during his term.
Shailesh Lodha also claimed that his lawsuit helped another show star get his dues. As 'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah' scandal persists, Lodha's response to Modi is unknown.
