What did Palak Sindhwani say about TMKOC makers?
In an interview, Palak said, "On August 8 itself, I had informed the makers about leaving the show. So they told me that an official email would be sent from the team. On which she can send her resignation. But nothing like this happened and they kept postponing my resignation again and again."
Palak added, "Before signing the contract of the show 'Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah', I had also asked to read it, but the makers refused. However, after a lot of persuasion, pointers were given to read. Apart from this, I had also talked about taking other assignments/endorsements along with the show, which the makers had no problem with."
"I was mentally harassed. When I told the makers about my ill health, my words were ignored. Not only this, I had a panic attack on the set itself, even after that I was forced to shoot. Whereas till date more than Rs 21 lakh has not been paid to me.' Palak further said adding, "I have also taken legal advice in this matter and I will take the decision that will be right for my career."
The legal complaint sent to Palak by Neela Film Productions for breach of contract reads, "The breaches primarily concern Palak Sindhwani’s unauthorized third-party endorsements and appearances without obtaining the necessary written consent, as required by her contract. Despite multiple verbal and written warnings, these violations continued, infringing upon the exclusivity clause and undermining the integrity of both the character and the series. As a result, Neela Film Productions has been compelled to take formal action."
