Shailesh Lodha Wins Big Battle Against Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah Producer, Receives Over 1 Crore In Dues!
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, also known as TMKOC, has been one of the most beloved and popular shows on Indian television. Shailesh Lodha, who portrayed the titular character for several years, parted ways with the show in April 2022. However, earlier this year, the actor filed a case against the show’s producer, Asit Kumarr Modi, for unpaid dues, leading to a legal battle that has now come to an end.
Luck Shines on Shailesh Lodha
In a turn of events, luck shone upon Shailesh Lodha as the verdict ruled in his favor in the legal battle against Asit Kumarr Modi. The actor had sought justice and self-respect through this fight, emphasizing that it was never about the money. His perseverance and stand against arm-twisting tactics paid off, and the truth prevailed.
A Victory for Self-Respect and Justice
Shailesh Lodha expressed his happiness and relief over the verdict, stating that he feels like he has won a battle. The settlement amount, which stands at Rs 1,05,84,000, acknowledges the actor’s rightful dues. His courageous stance also inspired another Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actor, who had not been paid for over three years. Following Lodha’s suit, the production house finally cleared the dues owed to that actor as well.
Resilience and Encouragement
The legal dispute had its fair share of controversies, as the producer, Asit Kumarr Modi, had been embroiled in explosive claims of sexual harassment made by Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal, also known as Mrs. Roshan Singh Sodhi, and others who spoke up about discrimination and misogyny on the show’s sets. In the end, the case was resolved through a virtual hearing at the National Company Law Tribunal.
Moving On
With this legal battle behind him, Shailesh Lodha has now parted ways from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. Meanwhile, popular television actor Sachin Shroff has taken on a new role in the show.
