Actor Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal is “exhausted” since the last couple of days after her scandalous interview came out in the public, where she revealed she has filed a sexual harassment case against the makers of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC). “To go through the trauma again and again, is very exhausting,” she says.

However, Bansiwal is extremely “sad” that her female colleagues are not supporting her. “It is very sad they are not speaking up. Everyone has their own security,” she shares, admitting that even she would have not spoken up if some other actor had spoken about it. “I was pushed only when I came out in the open,” she adds.

Bansiwal quit the show after her alleged brawl on the sets. Currently, Bansiwal who is not in Mumbai, is waiting to get back to Mumbai to fight the case. She recalls when she quit the show, she didn’t even bother to ask them for her salary.

“Jab I left the show, I thought main paise bhi nahi mangungi. Mera 3.5 mahine ka paisa hai and it’s a big amount. Trust me, mera account mein lakh rupaye bhi nahi hai. I have seven girls in my maayka, and I’m taking care of everyone,” she reveals. However, a spiritual healer Bansiwal is a firm beliver that God will help her.

“Main kyu sochu ki mere account me 80,000 hai, main kya daru. Bhagwan ne mu diya hai toh khana bhi bhagwan dega. God has always provided for me so, I’m not scared,” she mentions.

Recalling what transpired between the makers and her which led to her filing a sexual harassment case she says, “I got a notice from then that they have incurred loss because of me. I was taken aback. My lawyer (Amit Khare) asked me to write down instances of 15 years. When I wrote it down, he told me that ‘Jennifer this is sexual harassment’. I freaked out. I said, “It is a big word, I cannot say that. Mere mein itni himmat nahi hai’. The lawyer helped me understand. I spoke to my close friends as well. I never sent them any notice (initially), I only replied to Sohil on WhatsApp - just my 15 years of grievances. They went mum. I thought ab ye shaant baith jayenge, now that I have sent them this sexual harassment ka draft. Mera bhi kaam khatam. Maine sirf darane ke liye draft bhej diya. Then they said I’m extorting money and then I posted the letters to the authorities on April 8,” Bansiwal shares.
