Asit Kumarr Modi’s official statement with regards to the Jennifer Mistry controversy read, “She lacked basic discipline on the set and was not focusing on her work. We regularly had to complain to the production head about her behaviour.
On her last day she was abusive in front of the whole unit and left the set without finishing her shoot,” said the direction team of Harshad Joshi, Rushi Dave and Arman about Jennifer Mistry.
“She regularly misbehaved on the show with the entire team. While moving out from the shoot, she rashly drove her car out at very high speed not caring for people in her way. She even damaged the set property. We had to terminate her contract because of her bad behaviour and indiscipline during the shoot.”
“During this incident Asit ji was in USA. She is now trying to defame us and the show by making baseless allegations.
