After solving the legal problem with actor Shailesh Lodha, Asit Modi, who produces Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC), has broken the silence and talked about what really transpired. He said in a recent interview that Shailesh was not correct to say he won the case. It got sorted out with them both agreeing. Before this, Shailesh had said in an interview that getting his rightful money from the TMKOC producer felt like winning a fight. But Asit responded to this by telling a leading entertainment portal that the claim of actor Shailesh Lodha of winning is false. The court’s official order clearly says they settled the matter by the duo agreeing. Asit also explained that any actor leaving the show has to follow steps, like signing papers to show they left. But Shailesh didn’t want to do this.

In the interview, the producer Asit Modi clearly said that he never rejected and denied to pay Shailesh and even offered a meeting if he disagreed with the exit process. However, Shailesh chose to go to the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) instead of completing the exit requirements.

Sohil Ramani, the operations head of Neela Film Productions, the production house, said that Shailesh left the show without prior notice. Asit mentioned that throughout Shailesh’s 14-year time on the show, there were never any problems. So, his actions when leaving the show came as a ‘surprising and saddening’ turn of events for him.
