A lawsuit filed by Shailesh Lodha against the producer of his former program, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, is said to have been successful. According to rumors, Asit will give the poet-actor 1.05 crore. After 14 years of successful participation as the show’s titular writer, Shailesh left the comedy program last year.

Asit will now pay the actor a demand draught for a total of Rs. 1,05,84,000/- after being sued for non-payment of his debts. After the producers refused to pay Shailesh his dues, he turned to the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). Additionally, the actor’s and the producer’s advocates agreed to a settlement.

Shailesh stated that

“This fight was never about the money. It was about seeking justice and self-respect. I feel like I have won a battle and I’m happy that the truth has prevailed. I didn’t bow down to the arm-twisting. Why would I sign any papers to get my own money?”
