10th June 2023, Mumbai : Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, a show that has kept audiences entertained for over a decade, continues to be one of India’s longest-running and immensely popular shows. Known for its iconic dialogues and beloved characters, it has garnered a massive fan following. However, recent revelations from some stars have put the spotlight on , raising concerns about the treatment of actors on set. In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Monika Bhadoriya joined Jennifer Mistry in sharing shocking details, particularly regarding Disha Vakani, who portrays Dayaben on the show.
During the interview, Monika was asked about Disha Vakani’s experience on the TMKOC set and whether she faced mistreatment like other stars. Monika responded cautiously, saying, “I don’t want to comment on her, but… maybe… it could have happened. We need to see why she is not returning and what the reasons are. When someone is offering you a good salary and calling you back, why would anyone not want to return? So, that could be the reason.”
In the same interview, Monika was questioned about the person responsible for such behavior on the set. Without hesitation, she firmly named ‘Sohail Ramani.’ Elaborating on his conduct, Monika stated, “He behaves in such a disrespectful manner. I don’t think any project head or person in charge behaves in this way on any set. Sometimes, artists also make mistakes, and their teams can also be at fault. But there, it’s not like that. I will say that he is the one at fault. His behavior crosses all limits, and he targets everyone. He crosses boundaries with the artists to the extent that it becomes unbearable.”
Continuing her revelations, Monika added, “I won’t name anyone because I don’t want to create any controversy. But imagine a situation where there is such a fight that an artist is physically harmed, and yet that person is still in a position of authority, while the artists have left the show.”
