Jennifer also stated that the vibe of the set is very "male chauvinist" and every person working there is a "bonded labour."

Reacting to Jennifer Mistry's 'male chauvinist' comment, Mandar Chandwadkar asserted, "It is not a male-chauvinistic place. It's a happy place with a healthy environment, else, the show wouldn't have run for so long."

About the case

"Asit Modi has made sexual advances towards me many times in the past. Initially, I ignored all his statements because of fear of losing out on work. But it is enough now and I won't take it anymore. They tried to forcefully stop me on the sets and were shutting the gates and not allowing me to go out. I sent a complaint mail to authorities a month back but haven't got any revert. I am sure they must be looking into it and working towards the case. I am sure they must be investigating. I have hired a lawyer and I know I will get justice very soon. I have filed a case of sexual harassment against Asit Kumarr Modi, Sohail Ramani (Project Head) and Jatin Bajaj (executive producer)" said the Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actress.
