TMKOC’s Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal talks about verdict in sexual harassment case, reveals Asit Modi has been ordered to pay her extra ₹5 lakh ‘as compensation’. Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal, who played Mrs Roshan Sodhi on the popular TV show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC), accused the show’s producer Asit Modi of sexual harassment and an FIR was filed against him last year. As per a new report by ETimes, the verdict in the sexual harassment case filed by Jennifer is out. Per the portal, the hearing was in favour of Jennifer, and Asit has been ordered to clear her outstanding dues and also pay ₹5 lakh to her as compensation. Confirming the news, Jennifer told ETimes, “The verdict is in my favour, confirming the allegations I made with strong evidence. This outcome surpasses what the police achieved in the past year.” Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal on verdict Jennifer added that Asit Modi had been ordered to pay her, her due amount and additional compensation for deliberately withholding her payment, ‘totalling around ₹25-30 lakh’. The actor said an extra ₹5 lakh was imposed on Asit for harassment, but is yet to receive any payment from him. Jennifer further said that the verdict was out on February 15, 2024, but she was asked not to share it with the media. ‘I still haven’t received my due amount’ Expressing her mixed feelings towards the verdict, Jennifer said, “I believe a woman’s reputation matters most. It’s been over 40 days, and I still haven’t received my due amount, which I earned through hard work on the serial (TMKOC). Despite proving Mr Modi guilty of sexual harassment, no punishment has been given to all three accused. Sohil and Jatin weren’t included in the verdict, which disappoints me. The local committee ordered my due amount, which I deserve. This verdict clears that my case was not fabricated, and I wasn’t seeking cheap publicity. While I’m glad my harassment was recognised, I don’t feel I’ve received proper justice yet.”
