Actress Neha Mehta is making headlines once again after she quit the show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah two years ago. Although she has not worked in any show since then yet there is some unfinished business. The actress, who recently finished shooting for a Gujarati film, revealed in an interview with BT that she is yet to receive her pending dues from the makers of Taarak Mehta.
She says, “I live a very dignified life and don’t believe in complaining about anything. I acted in Taarak Mehta as Anjali for 12 years before quitting in 2020. The last six months’ money is pending. After I quit the show, I called them a few times regarding my pending dues. I don’t like complaining… hopefully, there will be a solution soon and I will get my hard-earned money.”
Post Taarak Mehta… Anjali hasn’t bagged another show on TV. She says, “I am waiting for good offers. TV is a great medium and it has given me a lot. But, I did not want to jump on to another show soon after acting in on for 12 years. I am also focussing on new concepts and working on my own production house. I hope to start work on a web show soon.”
Talking of web, Neha says, “Web is a great alternative medium but it can never replace TV. Television has a mass following and in India people enjoy watching TV very much.”
She essayed the role of Anjali for 12 long years. in 2020 she was replaced with Sunayna Fozdar to play Anjali, wife of Taarak Mehta (Shailesh Lodha) in the show.
