Taarak Mehta Ka Oooltah Chashmah actor Gurucharan Singh has shared his thoughts on the controversy that erupted last year, when his co-star Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal, who played Mrs Roshan Sodhi, accused the show's producer Asit Modi of sexual harassment and an FIR was filed against him. Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Gurucharan said that he tried to resolve issues between the both of them and did not want to get his name involved in any way. 

What Gurucharan said

When Gurucharan was asked about Jennifer's accusations, he said: “Main iss baare mein do baatein bolunga. Main Jennifer ji se mila tha, unse kaafi baat hui. Main Asit bhai ke paas bhi jaata tha kyuki woh mere kuch cheezein unse thi… Maine ya koshish ki thi ki un dono ki mulakat ho jaaye. Ye maine 100 percent koshish ki thi. Kuch aisa ho gaya tha ki lag raha tha ki mere pe koi baat na ho jaaye iss cheez pe. Kyuki kabhi kabhi jo help karne jaata hai na woh bekasur se kasurwaan ho jaata hain. Maine ye try kiya tha ki dono ki mulakat ho baith ke usko sort out kare (I will say two things about this. I met Jennifer and talked to her. I met Asit also for some things. I had tried to set up a meeting between them. It came to a point where I felt that what if I am dragged into the mud in their matter? I wanted them to sort out the matter).”
