The beloved sitcom, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC) has often been in the spotlight for its heartwarming stories and stellar cast. However, behind the scenes, the show seems to have its share of controversies. The show has been under hot waters for quite some time now, given former actors’ revelations about the show’s maker, Asit Kumarr Modi’s alleged toxic conduct and unfair conditions. The latest controversy involves Asit Modi and former cast member, Palak Sindhwani, who portrayed the role of ‘Sonu Bhide’.
Asit Modi cites Palak Sindhwani’s lack of discipline in his decision to terminate her from TMKOC
Palak Sindhwani left TMKOC in 2024, amidst allegations of breaking her exclusivity contract, which also landed in a legal battle. She later accused the show’s makers of ‘mental harassment’ and ‘non-payment’. Recently, in an interview with News18 Showsha, Asit Modi alleged Palak’s lack of professionalism. Citing her mood as a problematic factor, Asit revealed that it was one of the reasons for terminating her from the show. Asit Modi said:
“Everyone has to work in a discipline. I am also making a show for Sab TV. I also work with dignity. I have a contract with them. Similarly, artists also have contracts with me. We have to make 26 episodes every month. There has to be a discipline. It can’t depend on your mood. Everyone is working. This is one of the reasons.”
