Read More Asit Kumarr Modi’s hit sitcom Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah has enjoyed a successful 17-year run on Indian TV. While the show has earned massive popularity, its producer hasn’t been free from controversy. In 2023, several former cast members came forward with serious allegations, including misconduct on set and pending payments.



Now, in a conversation with Screen, Modi has addressed the issue publicly for the first time. He spoke about how the accusations impacted him personally and shared his side of the story amid the ongoing criticism. He said, “I have never detached myself from the actors.

If there is any issue, they can always contact me. I have always been very honest and kept the show first. I have never thought of any personal gains, so with incidents like these, I do get upset, but it’s a part of life.

" Asit Kumarr Modi said that some actors who left the show have said bad things about him, but he doesn’t want to react. He went on to add, “Actors who have left have been saying things against me. It’s okay.

I will not say anything to them. They have worked on my show and have a part to play in ‘TMKOC’s success. Even though I led it, the show became popular due to everyone’s efforts.

I couldn’t have made this what it is today all alone. We are like a train. Some compartments get derailed, but the train will continue to run.

I do feel bad, but I forgive them because if I hold a grudge in my heart. I won’t be happy and won’t be able to make people laugh." Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is one of India’s longest-running comedy shows.

It began in 2008 and is set in the Gokuldham Society, where neighbours from different backgrounds deal with everyday problems in funny ways..
