‘TMKOC’ makers react to Neha Mehta’s claims about six months non-payment

The makers of ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’ have reacted to claims made by actress Neha Mehta about six months non-payment.

An official source from Neela Film Productions Private Limited stated, “We consider our artist as our family. We have contacted Neha Mehta multiple times to complete the formalities with us. Unfortunately, she has been reluctant to sign the exit documents without which we cannot do a full and final settlement as per company policy. She also stopped responding to all our communication from past two years and she left the show without meeting us. We wish she would have replied to our emails instead of making false accusations about the makers that have given her 12 years of fame and career. We reserve our rights for appropriate action.”

In an interview with Bombay Times, Mehta said, “I live a very dignified life and don’t believe in complaining about anything. I acted in Taarak Mehta as Anjali for 12 years before quitting in 2020. The last six months’ money is pending. After I quit the show, I called them a few times regarding my pending dues. I don’t like complaining…hopefully, there will be a solution soon and I will get my hard-earned money.”
