Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah: Is this why Shailesh Lodha is not getting his due payment?
Shailesh Lodha, who essayed the title role of Taarak Mehta in Asit Kumarr Modi’s Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, has been reportedly waiting for his payment for over a year. However, a source close to the production house has claimed that the accusation is baseless as the production house reached out to the actor several times to clear his dues.
The source told BT, “Every company has a system in place and those associated with it are expected to follow it. The production house has not stopped dues of any artiste to date. Shailesh Lodha will get his dues, but he needs to do closure and sign the papers.”
Suhel Ramani, who is the project head of the show cleared the air during an interview and shared, “Despite repeated communication to sign papers and collect his pending payment, Shailesh did not. When you leave any company or show, there is always a procedure that needs to be followed and fulfilled. Every artiste, staff, and technician needs to complete these formalities. No company will release the payment before completing the formalities.”
