She shared, "I recently saw a spiritual video wherein it was said that to get something better in your life, you should show gratitude for what you have. if you want to have a big house, you should be thankful for the house that you're living in. It kind of hit me and I realized, I never thought that way."
"That day, I released Roshan from my system and prayed that the character would prosper. A few days later, today, I got the news about Monaz being roped in for the character. It made my belief firm because I prayed for it", she added.

Jennifer said, "The news did not affect me even a bit. There's only love and gratitude in my heart for the character and the actor who's going to play Roshan. I also realized that Roshan's onscreen family in the show was also suffering as they didn't have many scenes. So, now things will get better for them as well and I am happy about it."
She added, "It did affect me when I had to leave the show due to my pregnancy years ago because I was very keen on continuing with the show. However, this time, things are very different. It is almost nine months since I left the show and this time around, I knew I'd never return to the show, the day I stepped out of the studio. For me, it was the end of Roshan Singh Sodhi that particular day."
Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal on the recent Boycott TMKOC trend
Recently, the track of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah had the mention of Daya's return. The fans excitedly watched the episode wanting the track to unfold positively. However, the same didn't happen. The makers used the same trick several times earlier which made netizens feel fooled. Angry netizens carried a trend #BoycottTMKOC on Twitter (now X).
Talking about the same, Jennifer said, "When I was a part of the show, such tracks were introduced. We never used to have an idea if Daya Ben was actually returning or not. But like fans, we also used to be excited only to later be disappointed. We used to be like 'Kya yaar, aisa kyu karna chaiyye, audiences ki feelings ke saath. Kyu karne hai fake promises?' (Why do you want to play with the viewers' feelings? Why to make fake promises?)
She added, "Having said that, I'd hope that the audience doesn't boycott the show. Whatever the producers do, the show caters to 200 families. At least 200 people run their households through the show. I think, everything said and done, a show must go on!"
What's next for Jennifer?
She said, "Honestly, I wasn't auditioning and looking out for work until now. I was busy with the case proceedings. There has been no development yet. I don't know if there's any politics that the makers have done so that the case is brushed under the carpet. However, now I think, I need to get back to work. It is a procedure."
"Firstly, I have to be mentally prepared for the same before I start looking out for work. Once I'm mentally ready, I'm sure work and money will follow", she concluded.
