Asit Modi opens up on sexual harassment allegations
Reportedly, Jennifer has filed a complaint against Asit Modi, Project Head Sohail Ramani, and executive producer Jatin Bajaj of sexual misconduct at the workplace. Taking about the same, the producer told IANS, "Emotionally I feel sad. As I consider everyone like my family. And, again I am saying I have never done anything wrong to anyone. I have tried to keep everyone happy, because I am giving happiness everyday through my show. Hence, I try to keep my team also very happy, and in a nice and positive atmosphere."
The 56-year-old producer further said: "We have never done anything wrong to anyone. We have always kept everyone happy. So, we don't bother, we are clean and pure by heart." Adding, "This is the reason why we are able to create comedy. Otherwise, creating comic shows is very difficult. A negative person cannot create a comedy show like this. The show has an innocence and is watched by families. We are very positive and fortunate, as we have the audience's love, my team's support, and the blessings of god."
